The Art of Anish Kapoor (Inspired by Just Mercedes)

[tectak]

Tom,
volition: the act of resolving. Seems to fit to me. Your serve.
Intestinal lark. Many of his concrete pieces look like (at least to me) intestines. Thus, he goes on a "lark" making intestine with concrete and PVC (PVC is also another medium he uses). As far as I can see, and regardless of what he calls it, these blocks of concrete intestine, or noodles if you will, all look the same.  
The rhyming Italian words were just a gift, no practicality to them, sorry. A shout out as they say.
Yes, the sun has several meanings. One is "legend in his own mind" sort of thing. He also did a piece called sun, that is basically a round piece of stainless painted yellow, etc. So "in" is correct in both instances.
The end is purposefully ambiguous on several levels, but the fun/joke is in the unanswerable question. It's one of those, "Have you stopped beating your wife questions."  Buyer's choice, buyer's remorse
Something you no doubt
know nothing about,
but through killing,
innocent lives will be saved.
Can your art do that....
Innocent lives will be saved through killing others is what the question seems to be (although he really means will art save lives, still it's a fun way to look at it, and more truthful), and of course art can do neither (at least not directly). So is war more valuable than art, or is art more valuable than war, or are those even meaningful questions?
As always, I enjoy your observations Tom. I will continue to endeavor to find a rhyme for D'annunzio. I feel there must be one somewhere, and that I will be feeling it soon

Shem,
Thanks for having my back on 'intestinal lark'. I appreciate that. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece.

Hi dale,
I said that volition was stretched. You use the third order definition ( my volition/my resolution) but do not convince me that this is what you wanted the word for. It must be me. That internal rhyme seems over bearing if deliberate and inconsequential (to the point of making volition the mal mot) if  accidental. Just read the words. You cannot abdicate (abandon altruistically) your position relying solely (gone is the altruism. Conditionality wins OK?) on my (why?) volition (resolve). What meaneth this? Would not "my acceptance/capitulation/approval" all make different sense. I avoided "more". Semantics...don't yuh just lov'em.
Yes, his "art" is vainglorious. I once heard it described as "wormcasts on plates but sometimes not on plates and sometimes just the plates"....in fact, I think I said it. Art and I don't see eye to eye. I DID say that.
D'annunzio. Go to Gardone beside Lake Garda. You may never leave. Here is where  I first learned to appreciate my own preferences in art. You would, too. Suddenly, you feel right all along
Best,
tectak
Incidentally, we are slap in the middle of Kapoor's butterfly net, ten miles from The Iron Angel with no arms, and on a clear night I can see glow from where the winos sleep neath the Bottle of Notes....so don't talk to me about art.
