Carts and marts

Today I have seen some surprisingly effective contemporary art. Maybe because it seemed less of an exhibition venue and more of an artsy amusement park. "The Dark Universe". Before you enter, together with a brochure, one gets a warning note: "You are about to enter an exhibition with intense audio visual installations. These installations can trigger seizures with people who suffer from epilepsy." Dizzying strobes, tangible sounds, darkness and space. The kind of art that cares about its audience. And then I was looking at some Newmanns at Stedelijk and their size was clearly betraying a self-consciousness of a completely different kind.
