I find descriptions a terribly awkward predicament. I mean, they give you only so much space, force you to use this tiny font, and does anybody ever actually READ descriptions?

You can use these points for such things as pwning and whatever else these young hooligans do these days.

As an added bonus for visiting Dia:Beacon, not only do you see great art of our age, you also get the vague heavenly aroma of toasted sugar cookies. #give modern a chance
