John Jeremiah Sullivan: Michael Jackson's Body Is "The Greatest Piece of Postmodern American Sculpture"

You wrote that "Michael Jackson's body is the greatest piece of postmodern American sculpture." What did you mean by that?

In a way I meant it literally. Actually that's the only way I meant it. If sculpture is visual 
expression in three dimensions, that's what Michael's body became, and it's hard to 
imagine a piece of art that more thoroughly transmitted the anxieties and contradictions 
of his time.

He adores Michael Jackson, but Sullivan’s highest praise is reserved not for the man’s songs but for his physical body, which he calls “the greatest piece of postmodern American sculpture.”

cum as putea sa nu fiu de acord? la discutia anterioara am si zis ca parca e sculptat, cel mai mult imi place ca e inalt si subtire, corpul lui ofera, vizual, echilibru, eu asa am impresia
