There's a different thread of art in Europe supported by Kunsthalle and other publicly funded systems that sprawl without the pull of capitalistic pressure reaching $100psf+ to squeeze slick faceted objects out of artists from "cultural capitals", without pressure to discharge perfect turds of ideation, you get a common theme of shows like these heavy on documenting the hundreds of objects and drawings spread out over the no spectacle of artist's careers, trailing thoughts and ideas over the years across the floor.
