This interpretation is never intrusive, emerging mostly in dance sequences mocking 20th century dance conventions, in occasional hippie poses, in references to the Boston Pops and Chase Manhattan Bank...
AFTER THE FACT. Explorers accustomed to certain tracks of thought might follow that thread of phrase down different pathways of a speculative labyrinth. Explaining the exhibit's title, a journalist might ferret out the meaning: "investigate, search for, the fact"; an historian might assume "later than, subsequent to, the fact"; an artist might see "following, in the style of, the fact."
