I have to take something back to jewellers Bulgari, so will check out this exhibit. Is it me or is it jaw-dropping just now to see how surplus wealth adjusts, appropriates and re-invents things associated with poverty, mess and the need for people in cities to say "Hi, I exist."? Penthouse life must really be dull and depressing, for pavement life to be so engaging. Problem is that it's tourism and interior urban decoration of the mind. For more spin on appropriation of 'street' see this posting on Murakami and street vendors: http://tinyurl.com/4luu38. Thanks for the posting.
