Painting is already a memory, all art is already monument, a moment of mori, an object which transacts through time its x. There is no art that is decidedly present (besides perhaps Tinguely's Homage to New York.) Art is intended as preservation. Art is already rosed glass fetal pigs, embalmed for interminable annual dissection. You need not smear the rose pig in dirt to feign archaeology. Though.. that would be kinda fun science project. Actually okay lets bury some fetal pigs, see what science brings us.
