Dear list,
I have not seen the work (I suspect the piece resembles other pieces by
Ikeda I have seen and liked), but a scathing review by Jonathan Jones I
would certainly put on my CV...
In my view he is one of these rather surprising cases (opera being
another) where it seems that art critics of the Guardian are just not
the right people to review anything conceived after the industrial
revolution.
not a very thorough response, I admit,
kind regards,
Joost Rekveld.
