Well, fine then! There’s a reason why I haven’t blogged this yet:
I couldn’t care less about the Charles Fucking Saatchi Imperium and the ever hyped BritArts. But I do care about The Chapman Bros’ artworks. And, honestly speaking, the best thing that could possibly happen to stress the importance of an installation such as “Hell” is… A FIRE!
Let’s face it, that was the best meta-destructive performance of an artwork ever! The artwork itself created its own hell and destruction and thus fulfilled its sole mission.
