RE: biennial reminder

I admit that I am a 'blower of milk'. I find this is the only way, without touching the piece, that I can show people what I mean when I say "this piece uses milk as a projection screen". People looking at the piece assume they are looking at a piece of white glass, but are surprised to see the surface ripple when gently blown upon. Are we forbidden to blow hard enough to create a splash or is it something to do with germs? Just curious.

Hello everyone,

We have been reminded by Visitor Services that we should not blow on the milk in the Juniper Shuey work in the Biennial, and we should remind visitors about this as well.

 

Thanks for your cooperation.
