Nicolas Mavrikakis goes to Shawinigan
Howdy!
For frequent readers of the blog I will be succinct.
A) It is short (404 words)
B) The name dropping is limited (probably due to the length) only Deleuze and Guattari.
C) He is late (the show opened in June)
D) He buys it hook line and sinker that 60,000 people is a wonderful number. (For those of you who are math challenged, last year during a similar exhibition they got 60,000 visitors, or 536 per day. The place is about 33,000 square feet, and they spend about $3 million on each exhibition, suffice it to say Zeke's Gallery averages about 12 visitors a day, is about 1,000 square feet, and has a budget of less than .05% of the Cité de l’énergie. Even if you are math challenged you can realize that they aren't getting much bang for their buck.)
