Resonates. My approach to museums and exhibitions had previously been to meticulously explore every item, but this is impractical, anxiety inducing, and exhausting. Now I flow through stopping when something grabs my attention, unbothered by not catching every detail.

For me not so much. Maybe I'm just that detached from the modern art world to find it wholly alien. I can't quite tell if the author has a point or if they are just curating some trends for us to think on. Maybe the lack of direct point is the point?

Author is a well known art theorist, and she's critiquing a type of contemporary art. If you're detached from contemporary art this essay is not really for you.

I find something that looks likely, and spend ~20+ minutes on it. It's revelatory and even that is a short time: think how long the artist spent on it, how long the artist thought about it. In some senses, viewing a painting for 20 minutes is like reading a book in 20 minutes.
