So, I need to guard my hands against excessive cold. It's sad that I still need to wear mittens in April...
...there were a Leaden Ass award, it would have to be split between France and Australia. The French pavilion confirms the ongoing bankruptcy of contemporary art in Paris with a Warhol clone named Jean-Pierre Raynaud. His bright idea was to imprint 15,500 white ceramic tiles with the same photo of a Neolithic human skull and cover the walls of the French pavilion with them.
