Rituals
One time, I was pointing at a painting and a guard came over to ask me not to point. Was my finger shooting tomato juice?

instagram.comMuseums are ritual spaces. In this logic wouldn’t everything would be ritual? I guess it’s also about the ‘awe’/sublime aesthetic experience that comes along with rituals. What are other spaces/experiences that are rituals? Also what are we praising in the museum ritual space? Western ideas of art? Artifacts bonded behind glass cases?
