pAs a compliment to the series “This is Sculpture,” the Tate Museum Liverpool has commissioned film director Mike Figgis to produce a series of short films that document conversations with Liverpool locals about works of art found in the first floor displays./p

pIn this video, schoolchildren from Liverpool discuss the meaning of Dan Flavin piece “Untitled,” installed for 24 hours in their school hallway. Though most of them are not on board with Dan, my favorite part is when one kid utters “It just looks like a masterpiece.” /p

pIt seems that Liverpoolians are, in general, equally suspicious of Jeff Koons:/p
