ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF THE ABC IN ART HISTORY
Art historian A insists the meaning of this work of art can be found in room one. Upon rushing through the passageway to room one, however, we could not find any meaning.

Art historian B’s books all conclude with the meaning of this work of art being found in room two. Upon rushing through the passageway to room two, we could not find any meaning.

Art historian C argues in lectures to university students, that the meaning of this work of art is divided between rooms three and four.

Upon rushing through the passageway to room three then four, however, we could not find any meaning.

Returning to the passageway, convinced this work of art has no meaning, we little realised we were standing right within it. For later the meaning was found to be here, in this passageway, between the imaginary space of fiction and the real space of a red cube – a passageway through which we have been rushing all along.
