Ai Weiwei's installation

That sucks about Ai Weiwei's installation. I don't think there's much to debate about it - the museum had to close it, if anything for insurance policy. I had a job guarding/managing a pool and had to enforce restrictions that were necessary for few, and ridiculous for most others. But it was all to follow our insurance policy. I wonder if there could have been another material Ai Weiwei could have used instead.

    I have recently discovered a very unique duo of video artists/musicians called Video Hippos. They are graduates of MICA, an art school in Baltimore Maryland. They compose music and make a video for each song they write so it's kind of like watching music, sort of an artistic oscillator. I have posted some videos, check them out.
