Yes, I know your thinking I”m finally going to say something about the Whitney Biennial – don’t worry – I’m still not talking. (I mean is there anything left to say?) However following on the heels of the art reality tv show there is now a video game that has the player become the curator defending your museum against robot-controlled modern artworks.
I think I would rather see artworks attack a la Survival Research Laboratories rather than some fake museum defend itself. I have not played this (probably wont play this) – so go enjoy yourself.
Wouldn’t a curator defend themselves with reams or rhetoric and arcane philosophy – but then at the last minute, throw in a zeitgiest-ish celebrity or alterna-rock star for “the people” to attach themselves to and create a bit of buzz?
And at the end of the day, I could be too snooty about this, seeing that its just a game.
