Luigi Ontani at Massimo De Carlo

The "hypertrophic imagination of the artist".
The excessive [...] breeding monsters, unnecessary invention, a bit too. A hangnail bleeding the excess of art, much.

Luigi Ontani at Kayu & Rafaël Rozendaal at Postmasters

The sinister and infantilizing carnivalism of Höller's slide's exemplifies the mask that is "fun" art. The haiku's use their light and airy tic-tac cutery to ironize their ennui in contemporary tones, a verse to its unfun. Ontani's garish ornation play to their lurid Orientalist appropriation. 60's pop-art that explained that fun already contained its co-option, never to be seen by art again, that art precludes fun, and a thousand art objects like tombstones to its purity.
