Reading a review of an artist I did not know of, Roman Ondák,
I ran into a sentence containing a fragment that explains human behavior, if
not from the beginning of time, certainly in this time in which we exist in
what seems to be the eternal present. It
went like this (I quote and I rip from its context, a good article by someone
called Ina Bloom in this month’s issue of Artforum):
...evoking the kind of
gung ho spirit that actually covers a chasm of cluelessness...
And I thought of the creation of the Euro.
