    I feel like anything beyond that initial experience of the piece is useless nit-picking.

Explain to me how you feel about Louis CK these days. Or Cosby Show reruns.

Art is contextual. We all love Chinatown but we can't talk about it without spending some time on Roman Polanski, child rapist. An architect in Texas introduced me to the concept of "ruin value" - the design value of a structure is in no small part related to how well it will look in a post-cataclysmic future. Problem is, "ruin value" was brought to us by Albert Speer so how do you feel about the fact that your architectural trends are literally Nazi? What about Walter Keane?
