The PR, which turns todays art buttons into a machine gun hail of bullet cover, is perhaps more interesting. All of art's terms somehow loaded into its clip, the first paragraph: "complex installation," "allusions of historical painting," "meticulously built,"  "assemblage," "power relations" "contingency of identity constructions", "objects as suffering non-normative bodies," "thematizes," "objecthood of the image," "fetishistically,""the subconscious" "pointing out power relations" "multiple levels of affective" "between"x4 "constant shifting of focus."

The second paragraph begins with our guy THE DANDY. This should be horrible but somehow it's not, it's too much fun.

The excess physicality in painting, the scabs one end and wall vents on the other, perhaps because we're so beholden to virtual environs that we need a new harder visceral materiality to reach across screens, so we can feel like we're feeling something other than glass.
