Think the exhibit was in Miami.
Hurricanes then!
In February?

That’s .004%* of an increase in value for the rest of them. *Completely made up number as I’m not an art valuer, but the point stands.
Clearly the route to infinite value is destroying all of them
Now I understand better that New Yorker cartoon: “Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.”

#55> a visitor accidentally kicked its podium In the opening crowded social event how can the sculpture be placed unsecured on a glass table - also, the sculpture had rounded smooth glossy point of contact (dog's legs). The podium: https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/q_auto,w_727,c_fit/http%3A...
This is why a substance called "museum wax" was invented.

Yikes, that's just begging to get knocked over
Could it generate some great publicity and cost nothing?

#57The speed at which this is doing the rounds (over a 1/799 piece!) feels like PR for the rest of the run.

It's not absurd, or sexist. It's just a fact. If you pretend that you can't make any generalizations or statements because of one's gender...or you even pretend that's negative. Then you're the one being sexist. It's just crazy this kind of over protected speech. You're totally reading the wrong thing into it. Haven't you ever observed this?
Never once. At best you're describing children , in my experience, not adult women. But especially if it is an involuntary expression of anger, as you say, then advancing the sexist "You're Cute When You're Angry" trope[0] is not a great reaction.

You'd like it to be like that. A wrong done. A bad person. So you can white knight, right? Feel relief that you're not the bad you fear you are, and feel important. But, maybe instead of trying to "protect" women from imagined wrongs that you're so eager to pretend other people are doing, you should try hanging out with a more diverse set of women--and I'm sure eventually you'll observe someone either angry enough or laughing enough that you'll see something like I've seen in my wide and diverse experience with women.
Everything you're projecting on here has nothing to do with me, it's all just what you invented with your mind. Rather than trying to impose that projection on other people, and pretend someone else is "wrong" you should look at why you're wrong for trying to do that. Thanks!

Nope. Couldn't find anything via Google, either. I thought you were making a Seinfeld joke, at first ("The Little Kicks"), but apparently not.
Well, I guess you're not experienced enough. You're probably just mad that I'm free enough to say whatever I see, but you don't feel you can, owing to imagined restrictions in the language you feel is imposed upon you. Well, rather than taking it out on me, and pretending I'm wrong and you're right, why don't you see how you're the wrong one for trying to take that out on me...and just free yourself? Say what you want, rather than feeling to scared too and trying to police others owing to your own restriction. :) THank you :D
