He is well mannered, quick witted, broadly knowledgeable and irresistibly charming. He’s waiting for you at I.C.A.N. to converse pleasantly and politely about food, robots, dancing and other gripping topics suitable to his social class.**Paying tribute to surrealist moviemaker Luis Bunuel and his excellently titled film The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie (1972), this strange and wonderful installation by Wade Marynowsky is operated for the duration of the exhibition by invited mystery guests via the www. It’s simply too intriguing to miss, darling.
