Summer reading: "Funhouse"


(artthrob.co.za)

"I remember my first encounter, in Germany, in 1992, with [Jeff] Koons's famous 'Puppy,' the forty-three-foot-high Scottie dog enveloped in living flowers. As I was judiciously taking descriptive and analytical notes, a bus arrived bearing a group of severely disabled children in wheelchairs. They went wild with delight. Abruptly feeling absurd, I shut my notebook and took instruction from the kids' unequivocal verdict."

"Funhouse" by Peter Schjeldahl in The New Yorker
