Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Heck, call me old-fashioned, but as much as loves me trusty Reliant Robin, I draw the line at bringing a into the house. For though I worship the road the little three-wheeler travels on, it is not considered a work of art—unlike this Volkswagen Caddy. The humble white van has taken centre stage at Home, an arts organisation based inside a family home in Camberwell, London. It was the idea of internationally renowned artist Elizabeth Wright to include the van in the exhibition. The promoters explain the thinking behind that. "With echoes of the modernist devices of Surrealism and Dada, the van becomes transformed into a brilliant white sculpture, while the domestic interior becomes strangely unfamiliar, invaded by a new presence." Crikey! (Er, can you run that one by me again...?)
