The photoshop mock-up is more effective than the actual thing, unfortunately. It must have cost a fortune to make. Maybe he could have just stuck a medium-sized print of the mockup on the wall and let people imagine it for themselves. But then there would have been no spectacle, and that's largely what the biennale is about.

I think that he is more interesting than his art, you can say that about most of the artists his age.

"No more boring art" - Will John follow his own directive?? We hope so.

John kinda makes terms like "young" artist and "Mature"(old)artist seem foolish. "Good art" & "Bad art" is more correct. John,DAMN GOOD art, old boy!
