AW: Lets leave aside the glaringly unqualified made-up terms ‘post-identity’ and ‘post-shock’, and move on to a common example of artwank: the assertion that an artist is asking a question, without stating what that question actually is.
There are no questions are there? Once again its just a lazy and pretentious way of saying perhaps the most boring, pointless and reductive statement about any art work. That it is ambiguous. I’m definitely feeling pretty post-shock about that one.
