The way Broodthaers played with language is the ultimate play on postmodernism: the act of turning everything into a text to be read, and, in this case, manipulated as an object of language. I do feel, however, that too much of this review is spent describing things. The first paragraph, for instance, takes up too much of the piece describing the show and his work less in a way that provides context, but more a plain description of the show’s mechanics. I had a similar sentiment with the description of Broodthaers’s history with Magritte, et al, in the second paragraph.
