"The Privilege of Escape": art exhibit puts people into teams with disadvantages they can't control
Jillian Steinhauer has a review of an art exhibit Oassis USA
in Manhattan, called “The Privilege of Escape”, by artist Risa Puno, described
in NYTimes Arts Section Wednesday July 23.
People collect into teams and are given about 45 minutes to
solve a succession of puzzles to escape.
Some teams do better than others because of luck-based elements they
cannot control.
So you aren’t “better” than other people just because you
proved you could escape. Is this an
argument against meritocracy?
