En L'An 2000, France in the 21st Century


History

What a remarkable find. Shows also how one can never imagine just how advanced we will become as the speed of discovery and technological advancement seems to be at an exponential rate now. Awesome, can't wait to have a good look.

Yes, notice the detailing on the top of the columns on the floor above and howit tends to be buried with the new installation.

Yes Candice, the tone of the carpet compliments. Its wow. The light at least is light in feel. I think the version at VSL, it has cabling all through it which Ithink is ugly.

I guess it's just to let us know that they are aware of the short comings of salon art for one thing, that they are contempory thinkers butI agree I think just one odd one is too odd. Leave the room as it was.Everybody knows anyway.. :D

I agree, the piece itself would be great in a modern building, polished concrete even, devine, a nightclub. Absolutely and it references minimalism and pieces made usinglight in the 1960s for sure. So anywhere mostly except Versailles.Having said this, if it weredrop dead elegant and minimal I would have to concede and like it.But it is cumbersome and so unlike the exhuberance and lightness of Versailles in its physical sense. I 'm sorry I need to stop going on about it. maybe I'm too soft but It really upsets me though, frankly I couldn't even hammer a nail into a wall there, let alone do this.

If the new works illuminatethe worksin which they share the space with, then something is gained. I sense that this paintng may show the female subects of times passed in a good light. I'm looking at the guy to her left and he probably hasn't benefitted as much however. :))

I am a big fan of modern art and very recent art and I appreciate the briefing would have produced submissions for work that would not or could not sit beautiflly with the existing place. I do appreciate this. But I have seen this line, the draping, the smart assarchitecturalness of it too much and versailles deserves better. It is lacklustre and frumpy. I'll never like it.
