"The show at the #InstitutDuMondeArabe in Paris [...] closed last December, having had its run extended, but very few other international museums have shown any interest in hosting it. If it were for me to curate it, with an unlimited budget, I’d leave an expanse the length of an airport runway between each object to show how much has been destroyed."

"This show has excited controversy: should we even be talking about damage to #antiquities in the context of so much killing? The show’s maps dating from earlier this year, however, make it clear that targeting the history and heritage of the Palestinian people has been an intrinsic aspect of the Israeli assault on #Gaza."
