Art repeats itself, the second time as kitsch

We were recently in Liverpool. The central area, around the refurbished docks, is very hipster in a top-down, designed by committee, Bauhaus kind of way.

Liverpool is trendy again and has its mini-bubble-in-residence. Somewhere in the space between neoliberal leftism, old-time Leninism and ageless kitsch is this happening in Temple Street, just off Dale Street in Liverpool 1.

The good old days: how I wish I could take them seriously!

You must take the guided tour in the video below.


The art work is very well done. The sentiments are witty and roughly what I would expect of a bunch of leftist art students (who are not sure what a pronoun is) doing nostalgia-agitprop.
