"the white X had been on the floor for weeks, and the exhibit had come to an end. As the artist had maintenance crews begin the hard work of removing the paint from the marble floor, they realized it would take a while, perhaps weeks. Suddenly the artist had an inspiration. He would open the display and make the removal process part of the art--the gradual demolition and de-evolution of the original lime cross. And thus, the exhibit remained open another several weeks as the work was eroded away by maintenance crews..." ..hypothetical scenario...lol...
