On the other hand, in the context of our second Gilded Age,<br \/>\nit\u2019s hard not to think of these fiendishly expensive objects also ending<br \/>\n up on the inlaid floors of oligarchs\u2019 mansions. In which case there\u2019s<br \/>\nno homage involved, but rather yet another example of the claiming of<br \/>\npublic space by those with the money to take it away from the rest of<br \/>\nus. When oligarchs walk on these rugs, do they imagine grabbing the real<br \/>\n estate they represent? And does Garaicoa, raised on egalitarian ideals,<br \/>\n hope that we\u2019ll picture them doing just that? <i>(Image courtesy Galeria Continua)<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><i><i>The Daily Pic also appears at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/blog\/blakegopnik\/new\/ArtnetNews.com\">ArtnetNews.com<\/a>.For a full survey of past Daily Pics visit <a href=\"http:\/\/blakegopnik.com\/archive\">blakegopnik.com\/archive.<\/a><\/i><\/i><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>blakegopnik: THE DAILY PIC: Carlos Garaicoa is showing this and other computer-woven rugs in the \u201cNew Territories\u201d show of Latin American creativity at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York.
