Very good essay indeed! This passage in particular is a great articulation of something I think many of “us” (read: museum curators?) feel

Huge thanks to @REAS for introducing me to this influential 1964 book by #KarlGerstner, whom I only knew as an artist in the AKG collection (this Plexiglas lens sculpture is also from 64!):

This creative writing prompt responds to my favorite mural that the AK has commissioned during my time here. It's called "Love Black" and was produced by local phenoms James "YAMES" Moffitt and Edreys Wajed:
