it’s so insane to me how people are kicking up so much of a fuss about this whole swearing fiasco, whether it’s people agreeing with the fia or laughing at max for holding his own press conference outside so he can swear. yet whenever lewis has mentioned the racial abuse he’s faced in his 17-year-long f1 career, it’s crickets from everyone. no one wanted action, no one stood beside him, no other drivers mentioned it in press conferences or interviews. but as soon as the white guys are seen to be attacked, everyone suddenly can’t stop talking about it.
This tweet made me chuckle because i had never considered that THIS is what Armand was suggesting their wall should look like, which then led me to two thoughts:
1. Armand is into bright colours for decorations (at the very least, a lot of yellow), so i take it as even further confirmation that, as many assumed, the dark grey, muted, minimalist look was mostly Louis' doing, which makes sense as an external representation of his state of mind and his depression.
2. Ai Weiwei is a highly political artist, with many works about freedom of speech. This show is never subtle about the art they mention, and this case is nothing less: when you zoom in, the wallpaper consists of beautiful compositions of...surveillance cameras.
So many details for a piece of art they didn't even include. I love this show.
