Not at all sure of its lasting value (I Am Not An Art Critic) but that's precisely the sort of randomly stumbled-into exhibition that would leave me smiling - and possibly thinking - one rainy afternoon.
Audio wasn't as irritating as I'd feared either. Thanks!

And is the house "fat" because it offers protection, or because it consumes its occupants?

Better than Frat House, at least.

I'm less wowed by the Fat Stuff - it's kind of Joseph Beuysish, but without much of the tactile mystery - than I am by the photos of "one-minute sculptures" in the slide show in the Fat link. "Inspection" made me laugh out loud. And watch the slide show again so I could laugh out loud again.

Good post.

“Funny and terrifying and fairytale all at the same time” Could not put it better myself
