I’m sure my art world friends have some sort of theory of how it’s a cutting insider satire about the whole art world being a money laundering con or whatever... but really? You can’t find a more interesting way to waste time and energy? This is a zombie’s idea of a joke.

It does take a certain ennervated blithe cleverness, though this one is particularly lazy. The quantum mumble-jumbo spiel that is the performance-PR-art component is not even interestingly silly physics. You got a media buzz cycle going Mr. Garau. Yay for you. Fries with that?

There was a good essay I read a few years ago about the slow rot of “MFA program fiction” ... about how writers got so good at playing to conventions of the institutionalized literary orthodoxy they got unreadable. Feels like the art world needs a dose of that kind of reflection.

This kind of nihilism is the mark of a sort of Straussian bureaucracy of taste and resources. When artists are more talented at getting grants than at making art, you get this sort of thing. Happens in any field where ground truths are either absent or reducible to solipsism.
