Great Escape it is.

Karl cannot deny me this simple request. Affirmative on Pompidou. I will not tender a puerile and scatological suggestion, which would have been for somebody – not Karl – to deposit something else, thus placing the Center in danger of being called the Poopy-doo. (enunciated in the manner of Betty Boop)

The movie is The Great Escape.

Are you asking Karl to build this earthwork in the Pompidou Center? To create an anti-void?

Steve:

Just don’t try to sell me an empty box of Cracker Jacks. Who in the hell is going to pay to see such a show? And cutting edge? How about maintenance on that strange building depleted the budget and somebody had this bright idea for a show that wouldn’t cost much of anything?

Karl, if you’re still in Europe, I might urge you to do me a favor. I can’t remember the name of the movie, but it involved prisoners of war digging an escape tunnel. They would haul out the excavated dirt in their pants legs, whereupon they would pull a drawstring and deposit said material in various parts of the exercise yard. If you would, could you do likewise and create a little earthwork somewhere strategic when the guards aren’t looking? I really appreciate your doing this for me.

The authorities are putting a good face on it, but it appears an entire section of the Pompidou Center has been hit by CLOAC.

Just so we are on the same page, are you referring to the invisible painting in the photograph? As far as I can see, Lucio Fontana made only one painting titled Concetto Spaziale.

I’m a student from Holland, and I had to find some art for an assignment on school. But I have a question. Is this really from Lucio Fontana, or is it just a re-make? And is the name really Concetto Spaziale?
Because I found some other art with the same name..?

I hope you can help me!
