Comments on Flatland
Seattle's flatchestedmama (.com) was an old housemate of mine. i think she does some of the neatest lo-fi 'restraining' 'limiting' type of performance art around the city. of course, you can always read the Hunger Artist by Kafka.
Looks roomier than my overpriced studio in Eastlake. Damn you, Eastlake.
Hmm, Flatland sounds a lot like the world most of us live in. Seems to me that taking it so literally kinda misses a more important point.
Besides, I think that those artist's house is more vertical than flat, while we are horizontal. They move up and down, forward and backward while we usually move NESW. True, we have stairs to different levels, but they are still flat.
hmmm, well...it's not 2D! seems kinda like astronaut training.
This is Dumb.
The original "Flatland", as I recall, was a story designed to help visualize multiple-dimensional space. It was also a bit of a social commentary.
This "Flatland", in contrast, is really just a stunt, a sort of lame reality tv show without the sex. I suppose we could each be enriched/amused/thought-provoked somehow by hearing people talk about how cramped and uncomfortable it was, but really. I don't believe we needed Artists to inform us of this.
Of course, I'm no artists. I may be missing something "larger" here (ouch!). But I'll be damned if I can see it.
this makes me think of getting drinks and snax at bleu on B'way.
OH my gawd, does that mean there are apartments available? How much is the rent? Are utilities included?
Oh... Queens. Never mind.
@3 Your point would be valid if your ceilings were two feet high.
I'm not a doctor, but I would be worried about the possibility of blood clot formations in the artists' extremities. I'm not an attorney, but I suspect they had to sign liability waivers. Get out now, Alex! No art is worth this.
Paulus, OK, I guess you have got a point there. Come to think of it, what you suggest - flat with two foot ceilings - now that would be an art project that might garner my respect.
I still stand by my point that they are taking the whole 2D think to literally, which I think mutant_gn0me was saying too, perhaps better than me.
