Face Putting


What does this sign tell you, apart from its invitation? That it's barely three feet high tells me it's for a child, and that a child might have to bow to lend face to space. Or maybe it's for a dog? If so, "PUT YOUR DOG'S FACE IN THIS SPACE"? And no, I'm not being literal, just ethical. See how boring that is? It's a wonder any art gets done. We're in a most artless time. What we once knew as art will go by a different name (Adorno?). Elon Musk has taken it literally, too, when he rid of us of Twitter and gave us the X division of his One App, One Life future. I loathe this place. This time and space.
