5 Mai 2010; 11.37: The day began with a trip to Hamburg’s art museum. I’m a sucker for museums, frequenting the Met and Natural History regularly. Kunsthalle Hamburg currently has the Pop Life exhibit that I missed at the Tate Modern last year - complete with Koonz, Warhol, Hirst, etc. Also there was this dead horse with the acronym “INRI” stuck in it by Maurizio Cattelan. I suppose you can say this is beating a dead pretentious horse, but I for one eat up self-indulgent contemporary art. I suppose that puts me in the arrogant pretension category, but that’s news to no one.
