Section 88: ACT VI, 2014

At the opening of a new museum of modern and/or contemporary art in an Arab city, a proud local resident rushes the entrance only to find that he is unable to proceed.

​Is it his casual wear at an event announced as a black-tie a air? No.

​Is it the thugs who shield the ruling dynasty attending the event en masse to showcase their benevolence and re ned sensibilities, pubescent future rulers in tow, who prevent his access? No.

​He simply feels that were he to walk in, he would certainly “hit the floor.”

On the spot, he turns to face the rushing crowd and screams: “Stop. Don’t go in. Be careful.”

​Within seconds, he is removed from the site, severely beaten, and sent to a psychiatric facility.

​These events will take place sometime between 2014 and 2024. We will certainly read in newspapers the following day the headline: “Demented Man Disturbs Opening—Claims World Is Flat.”
