Headache In The Wrong Museum
a mind shaped like frozen broccoli has been put in the museum of headaches. the only actual mind that is featured in the museum – for the rest of the inventory consists merely of pictures and paintings and postcards of faces gurning in agony. one item in the museum has been criticized by patrons for being entirely ill-fitting to the collection: it is said that this man doesn’t have a headache at all, but is merely pulling his face in agony because he is cussing at himself. the smell of burning flesh is discerned by many around this video installation in the museum of the man cussing at himself. one sees the head, sparse hair, flat nose, thick lips, pained chin, pained brow, and one hears the cussing but there’s no evidence at all that the man even has a headache. all you smell is burning flesh. why – many patrons ask – is this installation even at the museum of headaches?
