Day with(out) art
Today, New York City artist, floral and event designer Wolfang Thom challenges World AIDS Day traditional practice of covering artworks in museum and galleries with black cloth.
The practice was started in 1989 from the activist organisation Day Without Art. In 1997 the group decided that hiding art wasn't the right answer and proposed it as a means to bring AIDS awareness to the masses. Thom agree on that:
Given the option of a Day Without Art and a Day With Art, I say definitely with.
