On Fire, 2
Yeah, this is signage directing you to a youtube trailer for a Calvin Klein ad campaign called Provocations. Looks like a fireball in a kind of Farnsworthy house and it’s probably not a stretch to say that it’s meant to look like art. Another raid? More worries about high water.

Anticipating Ruin, Mining the Past
Looking forward… or is it all over? If the current state of curated group shows is any indications, there may not be a way new way or a different way to find some meaning in the art being made now without looking backward.
