This is not just another exhibition. This is a resurgence against the overintectualizarion in art. In It’s Really Normaling, Brian Belott and Eric Hibit write the story they want to read, versus the story they know—an ebullient reinvention of a language that suggests a dichotomy of similar, yet paradoxical worlds.
This extravaganza is a better fantasy alternative version of real life. A Liberace tour de force whose team is winning all the touchdowns. This ain't no flag football, but brutal ass grabbing fun. Come on, you know that the only reason you agree to watch the NFL Superbowl is to look at tight asses in white spandex.
Weird becomes played out and the status quo. Normal becomes not only the way to rebel, but the new weird. When you're an artist you're continuously exposed to alternate fictive reality that becomes predictable. As Belott explains, something as ordinary for most people as doing their taxes becomes weirder for an artist than any other part of life.
