Jeff Koons At The Ashmolean - Gazing Ball (Tiger Hunt)

Jeff Koons at the Ashmolean - Gazing Ball (Tiger Hunt)

image

“I love to make reference to other artists - kind of art about art in that it’s a way to time travel, pay homage to our forebears. Everything - all the information, all the knowledge, everything that has been brought to the table to this moment”

Peter Paul Rubens painted The Tiger Hunt in 1616 in Antwerp. In Koons’s work, the gazing ball covers up the view through to the bright, blue seascape; the world behind the action is replaced with the world in front of it. 

See this work and many more in Jeff Koons at the Ashmolean until 9 Jun. Booking essential #JeffKoonsOxford

Basketball players wear sleeves made out of the same material, and they typically are black or white and do help promote blood circulation. I don’t know why there’s a problem? Is there some dress code I don’t know about?

I don’t like the higher interest rates, and how the deficit is just rapidly increasing. It’s slowing down the economy, the mortgage interest rate is 1/3 higher since trump took office, it’ll lead to a recession. Health care is privatized and just getting more expensive, and Trump clearly isn’t doing anything about that. I don’t agree with the tax cuts on the wealthy either, but if he would do s o m e t h i n g, anything, to help the majority out instead of tweeting 24/7 I’d be on board with him. He tried to reduce the money going to food stamps, tried to cut money going to CHIP, and he withheld money that was supposed to go to Obamacare, dick move. He also is doing nothing about health care, how can you even call him a good president fffs

Donald Trump won the presidency because of the identity politics of whiteness.

Donald Trump won because of the idiot politics of the left, it had nothing to do with whiteness. The Republicans could’ve put up a festering boil farm on Rosue Odonnels ass and I’d have voted for that festering boil over Killary or Barney.

Shit, a festering boil farm would’ve had a better tax and budget plan than either Killary or Barney.

I’m curious as to why you want to insult/talk about me suddenly. I was just showing my pov and I’d be happy to hear yours- especially if I’m wrong. I’m on the side of the people. Why would I, a working class citizen, defend a millionaire unless I thought they were innocent? I WIIIIISH Obama payed my bills.
