\nTower of babble<\/a><\/p>\n

\nRotten Tomatoes rates it 90% didactic<\/p>\n

\nEither struck by an epiphany or lost her contact lens<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe blur adds a sense of urgency the photographer wished to convey as he hurried through this room<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nRelease the cats<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nTl;dr<\/a>: Nixon was warped, and you can yell at the screen if you want to<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFinally, a place to eat my crisps in peace<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLooks cozy enough<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPlease pray no one walks in on me eating my crisps<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWhoa there, can’t you read, buddy?
\nIn the interests of maintaining interfaith harmony, let me state for the record that I did not walk into the room with my shoes on. In fact I did not go in at all. Nor did I have crisps, a device used for illustrative purposes only.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOnce more into the art<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis piece by Susan Rothenberg is called ‘United States’. “The evocative title may refer to the two sides of the composition. The way in which the canvas \u2013 and the horse itself \u2013 are divided is reminiscent of abstract painting, and emphasises the interrelationship of representation and abstraction in Rothenberg’s work.” I would’ve just called it Horsey #1, assuming it was my first go at the thing. That’s why I’m not hung in the Tate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAccidentally wandered into the staff exercise room<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI don’t even have to read the placard<\/del> label.<\/a> This is the cross section of a very big safe, probably holding gold<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFunnily enough this is also how Liberty sells their wallpaper<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI call this one ‘Guarding the Potato Patch’<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIf you’re going to be placing rules on my interaction, I’m going to have to rethink this thing<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Why Dali always regretted never having met van Gogh<\/p>\n

and I’ll leave you with this:
