Molly Mirror

Art is not new. Art mirrors us capriciously. Dare we admit it, even persnicketily. We, the disgruntled audience, take a Disneylandesque ride tour to see the ancient lineage of artists stretching across the globe and back 540,000 years to Homo erectus. We find to our modern horror a prehistoric “found art” assemblage that defies all reason and good taste —an AI-generated headless mammoth artifact with two tusks on each end, one absurdly jutting from its rear.

Like Joyce’s character Molly Bloom before her, Molly always says yes. But maybe we ought to say no.
