IF you have loved as I have LOVED you would MURDER love.

What is the definition of farce?

instagram.com/stories/anne_i… We started in 2018, opened in early 2020, closed after 5 days - an empty museum. I remember horses, white dogs, burning flowers, fighting with ChatGPT and collective stupidity. My dog Darcy was alive. Thank you Anne, Joie and all in the Studio.

I will not say his name, he would not have wanted. He was a gentleman, the finest collector, a true friend. His absence cannot be filled in our vulgar world of narcissists. I salute with great sadness this solitary, sensitive, and deep man.

Doctor Zhivago wishes you a very happy New Year 2025, less social media and more cuddles to brain-damaged humans. This is a homage to Zeno and Diogenes.

I am very very sad at the news of Koyo Kouoh' s passing. She was a wonderful and decicated person who believed in joy. A wonderful help for dOCUMENTA (13) and very intelligent. It is a sad day today for the art world.
