How prescient was et al. when they donned a lab coat to be photographed for Art NZ back in 2001 and to accept the Walters prize in 2004? Now you can't move in the art world without coming across a lab-coated artist or artist’s operative. Our most recent sighting was at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art when we spotted a group of lab-coated assistants off to help people into James Turrell’s light chamber. The owner of the art lab-coat is of course Marina Abramovic with her bevy of LC’d assistants.
