“Does this new object that has entered that artistic bubble generate thought and activity or not? Does it have an influence on this space-time, and if so, what sort of productivity does it generate? These are the questions, it seems to me, that are more pertinent to ask of a work. Whether or not it holds up and has a story to tell, coordinates, produces. . . Does something pass or come to pass? Let’s set aside the reflexes of the policeman and the legislator and look at art through the eyes of a curious traveler, or those of a host receiving unfamiliar guests in his or her home?
