People see a mirror and they immediately perform

Vertigo by Anish Kapoor

Continuing quoting people overheard at art exhibitions, this time I’m sharing remarks and observations from Anish Kapoor, at the Royal Academy of Art, London.

“oh thats amazing so glad we took the acid before we came (tone: sarcastic)”

“she was making a chair out of lollipopsticks the other day… I’m sure she’ll be alright”

“i cant understand looking at a big yellow hole so what!”

“art that makes you look bigger than others is always a success”

“you can catch it on you tube”

“she ‘ll go back to school next week and think differently about art”

“how much do you think he is getting payed for this?”

“you’ve left the exhibition area you can’t get back in…”

And a few observations:

jk: people see a mirror and they immediately begin to “perform”

jk (in the gallery shop): is it anish kapoor or is it made in hong kong?
