Wine and talk

Yesterday I was at a seminar in the series Kunst and Kapital. The subject was Switzerland: Art, Commerce and the Desiring Subject Polly Staple. I came in to the lounge aprox ten minutes before the lecture. I belive it was very nice with the free wine. The wine made a serious impression on me, during the lecture the air got really bad. It became nearly impossible to think clear, I wonder if there was a strategy connected to this. Maybe it was a part of some social relational art thing?
