No information here or in the links about where it is. Is this in the gallery and open right now?

The idea that artists are somehow at one with their broader culture and it's sociological framework, certainly within the world of now is a total travesty. The mores of the present are broadly in sync with Huxley's Brave New World, and for which art and higher truths don't exist at all. The idea of the first speaker there that artists are hand in hand moving into this utopian future with this world is utterly facile.
Art can be utopian but in an inner sense, or an expression of being as an absolute value. This has nothing however to do with what the speaker is taking of.

Give me strength. ... yet another publicly-funded museum drifting off course into a parallel universe that has nothing to do with its collection and everything to do with peer pressure from an intellectual elite out of touch with the public this gallery was founded to serve.
