These… eschew all the qualities that more conventional artworks embrace. They are not windows onto the world or records of an artist’s tortured subjectivity. They are non-emotional and apolitical, they neither tell stories nor construct theatrical illusions.
One can only marvel at the way a rarefied part of the art world will embrace any banal idea so long as it is repeated often enough. Apparently, to be banal once is merely banal, but to be equally banal on hundreds of occasions is profound.
They enjoy the luxury of being able to exist within the self (indulgent) defined boundaries of art discourse, in which slight or derivative pieces are sustained by an institutional framework that often seems unable to discriminate between an aesthetic decision and alack of imagination.There is a different mentality at work on occasions in which materials have been used with sensitivity to their various properties (that make some ineffable appeal to the senses, not just the eye.)
