This time here in Berlin, as we speak, so-to-speak. And with peace, I must assume. Or with art, which is even better, I guess. So like I’m there, dude. After all, I had absolutely no idea that there is “incredible violence and abuse going on in the world now” and that “instead of just putting that reality under the rug and just forgetting about it, we have to face it.”

She means the 9/11 anniversary event(s) tomorrow, right? Or the Taliban? American football? Driving on German autobahns? How about the evolutionary process i.e. nature and natural selection itself? Hard to say for sure. Egal (doesn’t matter), let’s just face it – and “face it”, whatever that means.

Titled “Das Gift” — a play on the word’s meaning in English, a present, and German, poison — the exhibit opened in Berlin Friday. The 77-year-old artist told The Associated Press she hoped it would force viewers to confront violence without losing hope.

PS: Did I ever tell you that I don’t get art? Not that I needed to.
