Q1: The cancellation of Haacke's Guggenheim show, like Duchamp's Fountain, raises the familliar questions of what counts as art, and who gets to make that decision. But beyond Duchamp's situation, Haacke's Shapolsky piece also raises other important social - and not just artistic - questions. One major art-related questions, however, is: are real estate investigations within the domain of art?
Q2: The next biggest question that occured to me while reading the article relates to the Guggenheim itself. What was their real motivation behind the cancellation? Was it a concern about litigation? Was it the ballot box? Where they concerned about protecting themselves from exposure?
