I enjoy your question of whether it would be considered significant if shown outside a space devoted to New York City (my opinionated answer is "no" unless it is shown in a sister city). Your analysis and questioning of its concept is good, instead of just focusing on the aesthetics. I would look out for spelling mistakes (it's Takashi, not Takahashi) but that's about it.Friend Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899741022434770577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466314672723988836.post-20669680129463170262015-03-25T15:53:31.821-07:002015-03-25T15:53:31.821-07:00This is a good review.

I come up blank. I do disagree with one question you raise. I do think these works would still be considered significant outside of this context. New York is mythologized and his works play with and off of that fetish. I agree that he needs to be more articulate about his work. Whether he has any further justification does not come across to me either.JEMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099297233243747428noreply@blogger.com
