It was an amusing movie playing up his “outsider” schtick and being generally silly.

For some artists, the fact that the work will be in a gallery or museum space IS the point. So that the viewer is questioning why this work is considered special and something else, outside the…

Oh, it’s fine! I’ve called Jez out over missing bigger stories that were in multiple mainstream outlets.
