beecroft very specifically genders her work

And if something is situated in a gender, say, or a race, that's blank? Explain why?

I think what you might be meaning by "blankness" is a strategic silence at the centre of the work which invites other voices to offer commentary. In other words, you say "blankness", I say "provocation".

because shes v. sure it doesnt have traditional content...(i think, im still trying to sort this out)

content is determined by whom--what happens when an artist refuses to tell us approite narratives or any narratives ?

x-post
almost anything provokes though--a white noise center is different then a bright pink orchestral one ?

These surely aren't 'blank.' They're covered in dollar signs.

Some people sell their wares by selling and some sell them by pretending not to sell.

is it all about selling
