In response to the anonymous invitation to the Last Art Show, published in Flash Art (Vol. 31, No. 203, November-December 1998), my interpretation of it in the same magazine (Vol. 32, No. 205, March-April 1999), and my survey of the art world concerning the proposed event, which also appeared in Flash Art (Vol. 32, No. 209, November-December 1999), Robert Collén ruminates about the fate of the show in his piece of March 10, 2000, which arrived today pasted on a postcard. In the end, he offers an alternative to the artists’ burning their own works in Hyde Park, for the London authorities may not issue the necessary permit, the apocalypse may be cancelled for lack of incendiaries, or the flames may fizzle in a gloomy English downpour. Instead, he proposes that the artists gather their works in some remote corner of the kingdom and surrender them to wind and rain, snow and ice, vandals and tourists. As soon as I read Bob’s piece, I recalled the ongoing tug of war between scientists investigating the end of the earth: will it be by fire or by ice? Of course, the difference is that the scientists are talking about something that will take place millions of years from now, whereas the Last Art Show is supposed to take place on June 21, 2000. Or is it?
