[Subject]: Re: [forum1] sensation - the last laugh

dear kim,

i have seen the sensation exhibition this year in berlin. i also
followed the discussion in different countries about this
saatchi-collection.

there are surely some sculptures, films or photographs which could shock
a religious or moral person. in my opinion this is the most amazing
putting together of pop sensational art works i have ever seen. every
artist has got its surprising result for you. you never expect, what the
other room is showing to you.

furthermore it is an exhibition, where nearly everybody far from his or
her level of intellegence can understand, read and find something in it.
your senses are very often touched and posed into contradictory.
sociologically it may evoke discussions and new point of views.

surely that a reaktionary and traditionally jailed government is against
such a political art collection & they fear that their folk could become
too clever.

live is not going further without art.

love

jan
