A Retrospective.

We had another field trip to the Centre Georges Pompidou today, but this time we got to see a special new exhibit, La Vide: Un retrospective. In English it is called "Voids". You might say it would be better to call it "Emptiness". Yves Klein called it "The Specialization of Sensibility in the Raw Material State Into Stabilized Pictorial Sensibility". I call it, quite simply, bullshit.

Here is what this lovely, 11 room exhibition consisted of:













































































Got the picture? There was absolutely nothing in any of the rooms. Rien. Zip. Nada. Oh, except for a freshly sprayed line of grafitti in the Yves Klein room. Now, I'm not a big grafitti advocate, nor am I a huge fan of vandalism, but those illegible scribbles that were scrawled across the huge expanse of nothingness were without a doubt the closest thing to art in this entire "exhibit".
