( since removed! so this blog works! ) before any Art was to be seen, Artist heard, or Curators' speech? My Art Museum, Basel's 500 years heritage among the oldest public art collection, currently offers blasting "Car Ralley" or Camera Adds, with especially irritating audio that is not Sound Art, no. Meanwhile back home at... call it Artcast, it is possible to distribute efficiently since 2005Artcast or Learning as Tate offers or Artcast SFMoma does, or higher forms of "Audio Arts hosted at Tate "Bill Furlongs lifes-works as quality interviews of a 30 year spam with Artists from Acconci, B= Beecroft-Beuy to Wallinger.
Ok, Directors may say, they are unaware that the imbedded adds, that automatically play (btw to get to the Art part, you have to close repeatedly click windows more then once with sound blasting in the background from coast-to-coast USA followed by Ambient sounds of a crowded Vernissage) I am sure not intentional but we, as the artist, are trapped in this delimma and are not shown the Exit to the way out.
The current artist, Gabriel Orozco in his own voice is still at Moma, yet the exhibit still travels-well as a simple audio-slide-show; Voila a tribute: a warm encounter with the Artist, treated with respect, as is the visiting public. As a "major survey show", traveling Paris to London, Basel is proud to be an International player at a level of excellence, yet lacking Internet awareness at the level Tate offers .

Meanwhile museum exhibitions can be both anticipated and Art enjoyed ( Moma) as long distance visit to current Abromovic retrospective at Moma or audio an almost complete experience, almost like being there, without the Co2 emission.
