Funny thing is, there’s a sense in which you put out a record as joyous as “Love Takes Miles” and then this, you’re already an all-timer. You’ve already grabbed a place in the books, the only question is how big

I was as surprised as you are (I suppose my colleague is not that young, early 30s, but still)

I don’t think that the young U2 fan in my department has ever seen it and that’s probably for the best

Vinyl drawing and text on wall

A view of an art gallery with white walls and hardwood floors. In the corner black vinyl has been used to create a large square across the gallery walls and the floor, creating a bounded space visitors may walk into and stand within. On the wall to its right is the following text: “BY ENTERING THE ZONE CREATED BY THIS DRAWING, AND FOR THE PERIOD YOU REMAIN THERE, YOU DECLARE AND AGREE THAT THE US CONSTITUTION WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU.”

“Six out of ten museums, and three-quarters of national umbrella organisations, answered yes to the question: ‘Do you feel that the museums’ vision or (parts of its) programme in your country are subject to political pressure?’”

How growing political interference is eroding the independence of European museums

Many institutions are adopting a practice of “strategic silence” to protect funding and avoid censure

I think that’s typical museum staff style but I bet they would have been flattered to hear it!
