(Museo Jumex, 18 August 2024)
Damien Hirst's is a study of beauty. Beauty is that which facilitates survival. Is a medicine cabinet beautiful because it helps one survive? Is a shark ugly because it is a threat to life? What if it is sliced into two parts? Is beauty skin-deep? Is tobacco ugly because it kills? Do butterflies remain beautiful once dead?
Hirst's work is appreciated. People come see it. They find it beautiful. Beauty must be deeper than skin-deep.
