excursive notes
• Best use principle: remarkable that the site, with its internal vistas, endless balconies and catwalks, bunkerlike pavilions, irregular outcroppings and overdetermined lines-of-sight, hasn't been consecrated to an ongoing paintball tournament.
• Another way to pose the situation: there are more cafés than there are great paintings.
• "Based on the example paintings, I want to go to the fuckin' niveau supérieur of the East."
• Compare to the Alamo: "race war Disneyland."
• Title of a section of the John Heartfield exhibit: "Battle of Images in Magazines." Possible reasons this couldn't be title for culture in general: none.
• "Passive appropriation may simply be another name for culture."
