# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Arte Povera: Do not reduce this to the mood of aged materials, and keep its critique of value, time, labor and institution. Over conditioning the display turns the work into an unchanging specimen.
# - Conceptual Art: Styling the surface to look administrative without a rule or question anyone can test leaves only curt graphic design. Change what counts as the work, including structure, site and the relation to the audience.
