Pollock isn't trained in architecture, so the questions he asks his friend tend to be questions you or I might ask if we met him, and because both of them are engaged in trying to create art in disciplines that are mostly about commerce, they find plenty of common ground.
One activist did admit to being "caught on the hop" by the question and asks whether they can "phone a friend" but no-one seems fazed or defensive about the opportunity to talk about the issue.
