What are metaphysical hermeneutics?
How can we best 'decode' the absurd?
Does art require a criteria?
What are the metaphysics of advertising?
If I see that a company can create the VERY GREATEST art. Surely that's the best and most impressive thing they can do?
Beverage advertising is my very favourite. How do you advertise something you sip, drink or gulp?
Any. Way. You. Want.
When your brilliance is casual, fun, grandiose, amusing, elegant, boisterous - and a spectacle?
And innovative?
It is impossible to ignore. You have transcended and defied all.
'What am I advertising? At this level of mastery? Sublime brilliance. That's all. We're casually demonstrating our greatness.'
If Radiohead can release an EP that's not an LP and their EP has 7 tracks that are better than any LP that year with 12 tracks. Then?
If a brand releases an art exhibition or installation? Or puts on a concert? And it's worth everyone's endless attention, curiosity and fascination? Guess what they now associate with your brand. Everything wonderful.
The key element is surprise. A cheeky surprise, a funny surprise, a safe surprise, a reassuring surprise, a comfortable surprise.
When it comes to the spectacle there are many ways to engage with it and different stages to your participation in it.
Noticing
Staring
Being entranced and hypnotised
Pondering what you're seeing while you try to process it all
Studying it to better understand what's going on and how it does what it does
Finding out who the puppet master is. The Wizard of Oz
Telling yourself it's not worth your time and that you have cooler stuff to do
Being intrigued again, knowing you might never see it again
Enjoying it with someone and wanting to validate aspects of your shared experience, perception and interpretation
Decompressing from the experience and debriefing
These are personal notes on the various stages, variously experienced by various groups/types of people when they see a spectacle.
When your spectacle takes place somewhere iconic? Now it's much easier to stage an iconic spectacle. And you will want the very best photographers, painters, drawers, and visisual artists on hand to interpret it and manufacture pop art and timeless art. Right then and there. Stage a pop up ART HAPPENING. Or a pop up Da Vinci workshop. You're manufacturing popular culture and soft power and influence and brand worth in REAL TIME. In a luxurious tapestry.
You must be efficient and effective about it. It's like you set up your spectacle. Then you set up your circus in 5 minutes and get to it. Media circus, your provocation, your fashion elements, and as many mixed media artists as you can afford. Then upload it all, send it to your graphic design person or the artists work it all. And you have branding, PR materials, low and high art and all kinds of art to share with the world. About how THIS was that THRILLA IN MANILLA or that Bigfoot Sighting.

Venus of Milo Exhibition Started (1964)
On 8 April 1820, on the Aegean island of Milos, the Greek farmer Yorgos Kentrotas dug out pieces of stone on the island. When put together, they formed a standing statue of a beautiful woman. Venus of Milo Discovered.
Yorgos hid it from detection but the statue was discovered and confiscated by the Ottoman officials who ruled the island. The French ambassador to Turkey, the Marquis de Rivière, bought from the Ottoman and next, a French naval admiral asked for it. After being presented to Louis XVIII, it was donated to the Louvre in 1821, where it found a permanent home.
On 8 April 1964, a special exhibition opened at the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo. The Asahi Shimbun newspaper obtained permission from the French Government to exhibit the work in Japan, taking advantage of the fact that the Tokyo Olympics, an event of Greek origin, were to be held in the autumn of that year.
The exhibition attracted 831,198 visitors in Tokyo until 15 May, and was on display at the Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art from 21 May to 25 June, attracting a total of 1.72 million visitors to the two museums.

This was the sole opportunity that the exhibition was shown outside France. Japanese newspaper companies have correspondents abroad and build up a strong network of contacts with embassy staff and others. It is therefore not unusual for newspapers to organise touring exhibitions.
Exhibitions in Japan are of limited duration and are heavily promoted by the organising newspapers and affiliated TV stations, which is why visitors are often swamped, making it difficult to appreciate the artworks at a leisurely pace.
In the Louvre, you can view the works in a more relaxed manner.

Beautiful Funchal, Madeira is the place where Cristiano Ronaldo is born.
Funchal is the capital city of Portugal's Madeira archipelago. It's backed by hills, and known for its harbor, gardens and Madeira wine cellars. The centuries-old Funchal Cathedral, which mixes Gothic and Romanesque styles, is notable for its carved wooden ceiling. Fronting the harbor is the São Tiago Fortress, built in the 1600s. It now houses the Contemporary Art Museum, with a large collection of Portuguese works.

In assessment for UNESCO, council recommends against Estonia Theater annex
In a recent assessment for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) regarding a planned annex to the Estonia Theater in Tallinn, the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) recommended building an opera house elsewhere, not as an extension to the current building.
In its technical review, the Estonian representative to UNESCO Priit Pallum, ICOMOS noted that the planned extension would overshadow the historic Estonia Theater building without any architectural integration, and recommended considering building a new theater elsewhere in Tallinn, in order to realize its architectural potential while at the same time satisfying its operational needs.
ICOMOS stressed that if an extension to the historical theater building does remain under consideration, then the scope of the intrusion into the existing building should be defined in the course of a broader debate in order to preserve cultural heritage values, including the physical structure as well as the local context.
