FLASH ART Magazine November/December 1999

Detroit Institute of Arts will start the next millennium with a bombshell in the form of Jef Bourgeau's exhibition entitled "Kaboom!" Based on the destruction of art in this century, on vandalism as a sincere form of artistic expression, viewers will be invited on January 2 to destroy works of art. Man Ray’s Object to be Destroyed can be crushed with an over-sized hammer, you can spray paint a green dollar sign on a Malevich painting, piss in Duchamp’s Fountain, erase a Willem de Kooning drawing, stitch up a Fontana, or slash up a Barnett Newman.
