How to explain the art world…
...to a dead hare. That's what Ron English is calling this video. I'm not sure there's much else to say about this. You just have to watch it and decide if it's genius or just weird. Me? I'd say it's a pretty accurate description of the art world.

It still seems a bit chilly to me, but the first signs of spring are hitting London.
