Barbara Kruger is beyond banal. (Vomits, and waits for "misogynist!!!" cries).
Otto Dix is good though.

perhaps cheating a bit in that it's a collection of architecture, sculpture, and painting to form one piece, but i like to think of it as a theatre (have seen numerous performanced inside: keith rowe, loren connors, pauline oliveros, russian composer recitals). have to say the rothko chapel is my fave since it helped connect a lot of dots for me when i was younger. music was my connection to everything so it was quite an amazing find back in high school when i discovered the rothko chapel in houston by way of morton feldman's piece of music dedicated for the opening. back in my suburban days i never would have thought such a thing exists in this city. the paintings can be amazing on cloudy summer days as the light coming in through the skylight changes the look of the paintings.
also happy to say that i now live 2 blocks away from this.

Walking in this red room full of silent noises must be quite an experience, as the cross of a Louise Bourgeois's giant "spider" is, in a different level and meaning...

Stasys Eidrigevicius liked the head. Or did he? See more under http://www.artnet.com/artist/718726/...igevicius.html.
Poland definately has the most interesting film posters. They are often highly peculiar but most of the time reveal deep insights and unsuspected graphic interpretations of the depicted films. See http://www.poster.com.pl/sitemap.htm.
The Polish tradition of animation is superb.

ps: Boltanski is a fascist using the logic of industrial production inherent in the Holocaust to profit culturally and monetarily from his own position of strength and academic consecration. A dominant using the cries of the dominated to his own advantage is nothing if not morally repugnant. That and charging you €5 to record a CD of your own hearbeat so that he can use the sample for a "collective" work that will serve nothing if not further crystallize his own ego-monument.Selling CCP, Harnden, Raf, Rick etc.
