THE TOILET PAPER AISLE, TUESDAY EVENING!

The commentator-journalist-artist said on an ABC iView doco about art in America, about Warhol, to effect he showed us how our lives are surrounded by the images of the consumerist society, that his Campbell soup cans are in the way they are displayed by a linear sequence on the wall and straddling a corner onto the wall intersecting it at 90 degrees like cans on supermarket shelves (all the way around the corner holding one hand above and another below for effect to show the height in a sweep of a perceived soup can and another and so on on a shelf).

The wonderful gentleman read out Chicken Soup and Pea Soup and so on from the 32 different ones described with some variations the length (and all around the corner) of the extent of frames. I am all for Warhol's 32-cans or his painting one or knocking out a beautiful print of one if that was all that took his fancy, or a warehouse of them. It was the pious manner the work was described and the delayed extension of the hands to describe the sequence on the wall as being like cans on a supermarket shelf. I wanted to learn more about Warhol than the conceit allowed spending all that time on Warhol's Campbells soup cans and the uplift implied of the sweep the extent of the frames (and all around the corner on the adjoining wall of Campbells soup cans).

I would have to listen again, but I think I was disappointed or dropped off.

I must have heard SOMETHING!

Inversions, saturations, tinting, sharpen, repeat, apply, undo...
