  • A number of artists in the 'Magic and Belief' section show a complete disrespect for Martian tastes by burning paintings and sculptures and exhibiting only the ashes in urns or vials. Report conclusion: messy exhibition recommended for intrepid art astronauts intent on deep mindspace exploration. (Translated from Martian hypertext by OW)

    Awful, contrived, low on inspiration. You know an exhibit is reaching when there is a squawking bird-like speaker jarring your ability to artify these ridiculous works. Two redeeming pieces, but the rest is dreck.
