Why is “Arriving late to a party, but dancing on all the clichu00e9s” an adaptation of a clichu00e9?
Yesterday’s (June 11) New York Times introduced Guggenheim’s new ventures of collecting artworks from South and South east Asia, Middle East, North Africa, and Latin America, which it has paid little attention to in the past under the headline, “Arriving Late to the Party, but Dancing on All the Clichu00e9s” in its Art & Design section. In this article, we are going to go blind over the new acquisitions of Guggenheim with an eye towards the late April 2016 Paris events
I am intrigued with the phrase “Arriving late to the party, but dancing on all the xxx.” ” ‘Is it a idiom or clichu00e9? What does dance on all the clichu00e9s mean?
Is it “Arriving late to a party, but dancing all the night (snugly) ” or something ingenious and strange about it? But I’m not sure.
Why doesn’t anyone use the idioms you describe? Isn’t it a mixture of idiom (arriving late to the party) and metaphor (stomping out clichu00e9s)?
What do some writers who worked for a Guggenheim institute say about Latin American culture and art? It’s trying to redress this error by adding a (small but significant) collection of such works, but the author asks “Where do you enter into a conversation when you’re late to the party? He ends up saying: “Latin America
itself has long been viewed, from the outside, through clichu00e9s, and artists are clever at shooting them down….” And, after many years, he tries to make art. Is Tropical Wilderness widespread around the globe? In a piece called “Walk,” by the Cuban artist Wilfredo Prieto, untamed nature is a single tropical plant to be trundled around in a wheelbarrow. When did the postcard-perfect Eden appear? What
shouldn’t change is the curatorial energy, however low key, that’s been
set in motion. Yes, our big museums are embracing the world late, and for dubious reasons. Is late better than never? In enlightened hands, wrong reasons can be made right.
If you started dancing on all the clichu00e9s after arriving late in a party, you
have a good chance of one day coming late!
