Takashi Murakami, Palace of Versailles, And “Disneyfication” Oh My!!!

Will there be contemporary art in Versailles' royal rooms after Murakami?

In relation to last weeks discussion and the three major currents that contribute to contemporary art do you think the currents can overlap? Can the location change the current and the artist's intent? How would you relate this article to the lecture regarding Historicism, Modernism, and Post Modernism?

Why do you think Murakami refers to himself as, “I am the Cheshire Cat who greets Alice in Wonderland with his devilish grin, and chatters on as she wanders around the chateau.”
