The first time I stood in front of a monumental balloon dog, I noticed something strange. People smiled before they had even decided what they were looking at. Gloss. Curvature. Color. The object had already organized the reaction. It made me wonder whether some artworks do something more than exist in a room. Maybe they quietly script perception. #contemporaryart
