Art Not In My Palace! Louvre Curator Slams Upcoming Murakami Show at Versailles

Really? You don't see what an absurdly ostentatious monument to a culture predicated on the suppression and exploitation of its people has in common with satirically violent pop-surrealist parodies of a culture predicated on sexual and political suppression and out-of-control consumerism? This is probably why you're the contemporary art curator at a museum that shows virtually no contemporary art. In other news, Bernadac is organizing a new Nan Goldin exhibition at the Louvre, a compelling pick that seems very much in the same spirit as Versailles' choice of Murakami.
