Space set up, next to V. Miro, by someone called Ziba de Weck, a not for profit contemporary art 
gallery. Ziba de Weck sounds like a made-up name, and where do you get this much money to spend 
not making any money? Still thank god for patrons until we get aethistic aesthetic communism.

The gallery is big and swanky, a nice canal-side terrace which seemed inaccessible, with pleasant 
and friendly staff, and Ronay's poppy art meets digusting Guston, is better the more you look at it. 
Unlike, say, a spot on your face.

He mixes sex and hamburgers, which is a good combo, and sculpts doodles about the glories of 
consumerist life. They are slightly angry, quite funny, and make you like art.

Parasol is promising. de Weck says she wants a small kunsthalle. Good, we've got enough big kunts, 
we need more kunst, in any size.
