A REVIEW:

Bill Viola Anthony  <mailto:d@ffay> d@ffay London UK 2001

Billy Viola you embarrass us. Flat screens straight out of Star Trek next
generation, and actors who failed to get bit parts on the show because their
faces were too rubbery. Always a stench of some acting class from the 70s.
The public gawped at the woman going through her day, high brow big brother
supposedly superior because it references religious painting. Fascinating
like a moving dollhouse the scale is alluring but not more so than the
animatronic Steiff teddy bear and monkey display at Hamleys which is
amazing.

Upstairs Monsieur Grandiose moves on from humanity to the whole damn
universe. He must be joking with this birth and stars and sea stuff. Matthew
Collings says he saw people crying, I hope he was kidding, it reminded me of
astronomy films they show in schools. Writing about it, it seems
inconceivable that it was not even particularly visually exciting, but I
think I thought it dull at the time.

Viola with his big themes is what passes for a serious artist, whom people
respond to emotionally because of their desperate desire to believe and
their foolish faith in success. He is a pig's stinker with a big budget.
