NvQuan女泉Fountain
Nv Quan is not about convenience. Everything has been done before us, everything as measure of progress, like yeah, it’s taken a long time to come to now. Nv Quan is no Duchampian overturn, no Lady Gaga feeding frenzy, nor even a “real free true lady artist” as worthy of the great Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. No, Nv Quan is just a delicate, hand-held little thing. We’re lovely in tiles, we’re lovely in the great outdoors, we’re taking a piss.
