Thanks Ted for your comments. I have to disagree though - I think ten years on from 911 the majority of people reflected upon that day and the tragic loss of life.

art and 9/11

Eve, please, it is not true that "everyone" is reflecting on how 9/11 changed the world. That's partly because it didn't change it much in important respects, the US continued to ruin itself with huge military budgets, made worse by the mad decision to attack Iraq- nothing to do with 9/11. But that military was basically to support US corporate interests, which unpatriotically have managed to get politicians to reduce the percentage of tax they pay, while engaging in reckless financial speculation which nearly brought down the world economy. Instead of that guy doing paintings that reflect the usual views of 9/11, you might have sought out some artists who raised some serious questions about the causes of 9/11 - like US support for Middle East and African dictators - till the people rose up and the US suddenly remembered it was actually for democracy and freedom - despite AbuGhraib, etc.
