Dear Mark,

Here’s a response to your inviting me to curate a show that comprises a single piece of work—a mechanic that simultaneously mocks and affirms the idea of an establishment like the Louvre, with its line of people queuing up to witness the Mona Lisa. It would seem to conflate highbrow and lowbrow, and possibly overcome that communal exhaustion and disinterest everyone seems to accept as the regular ambience of gallery openings these days.
