Like the creation myth about turtles holding up the world: “it’s turtles all the way down.” poignant in many ways brother charles, forgotten and now dredged up to make a posthumous point about creation, love, money and notoriety. So Alain Arias-Mission’s comment and tug boat message sinking towards the bottom of the lagoon while the crowds cheer makes sense about this world, the art world and all things that will happen tomorrow.
