artworks are not meant to last. it's not every artist who denies the art market her works. it's not so much about ownership and this is mine let me hang it on my wall. instead it's about changing our ideas and our behavior not just for artists but for institutions that show their work many are trying to create exhibitions that are less damaging to the environment. it's a pleasant presenting exhibitions to large crowds changing around the space and buying materials and there's no easy way out of that dilemma even while we're putting a show together there are still many ways to figure out with the artist if we couldn't use materials that are better smarter that can be reused oversight. and
