I think the correct curatorial term is "butt kissing" -- as in "kiss
my butt" made popular of late by the esteemed curator Bart Simpson --
and doesn't require the removal of clothing or hog-tieing. What the
artists were engaging in would more properly be called "brown nosing".
Perhaps we should let Paul McCarthy make the final judgment on these
issues?
I thought it was amusing, mainly because curators aren't regarded quite
so highly here in the US as they are in Europe and I've been writing
grant proposals all week so my aesthetics are a little out of whack.
