Are we witnessing a modernism that has been fully liberated from the past? A postmodernism that is not only an abstract expression of our experience, but also a form of reality? The answer is yes, and it is also a kind of horror. The artist is doing the unthinkable: he is going to make a sculpture that is so frightening it will make you want to run away. I dont think the artist is afraid of the horror, but rather of the fear that the sculpture might be the most powerful thing you ever saw.
Little boy tapes a Woody toy from the movie Toy Story to a table and stabs it with a knife. What does this art mean? Is it a commentary on the depravity of childhood, or a kind of a subtle attack on the complacency of adolescence? Both questions are important to the art of the 90s, which is to say that the art of the 80s was a critical step in a long process of questioning the assumptions of the art world.

As the title of a recent exhibition at the Whitney Museum, The Art of the Holocaust, it offers a kind of contextual analysis of the artworks that made up this exhibition. In the middle of the exhibition space, the viewer was given a small white box, which held a wooden crucifix. It was covered with gray and grayish-blue plastic sheets, each sheet having a label reading, I am a statue, a memorial. The blue sheet contained a single photograph of a German soldier, showing a hole in his head. On the bottom of the black plastic sheet, a black-and-white photograph of the same soldier was displayed. The images were of the same size, and had the same title: I am a Holocaust Monument. These works are carefully made and meticulously detailed, yet they are entirely devoid of any historical or cultural significance. They are abstractions that evoke the emptiness of the present. This is a clear sign that the exhibition was not designed to engage in any kind of critical reflection. It is an exhibition of art, not of ideas. As an exhibition, it is not designed to stimulate any kind of critical reflection. This is an exhibition designed to provoke the audience into an active and critical response, which is what it does. The exhibition is a provocation that demands that we be attentive to our time and to the present moment, to the present moment as a whole. This is an exhibition designed to provoke our response to the present. The exhibition is an exhibition that is designed to provoke our responses to the present moment.
