They need one of those new Dyson fans inside that fan box. Heh

I'll go on record. I don't like them. I think the first show I saw was at Consolidated works. It had a box in which you could up-skirt a stripper, and a little factory that made wooden books (this was awhile ago, so the details are iffy, but I do remember thinking, "Not much here.") Then they did a dumb street food cart at the Genius awards that were held at SAM. Once again, not very exciting.

They just never caught fire for me. This new exhibition, especially the first two pieces described here, just sound like artists whining.

All you anon commenters can now flame me because I don't know anything about art.

LOL U R RUINING ART.

The fan piece reminds me of that artwork at SAM that basically just looks like an empty display case, probably because it is just an empty display case.

I want that pencil.

@12 Well, actually all the DCFC I've ever heard sounds like christian rock to me.

So yeah, I don't like them either.

nonetheless, You seem awfully personally invested in their art, are you one of the artists?

art is personal, you either like it, or don't. think it's smart, or dumb. it speaks to you in some way, or doesn't.

sorry you take, MY criticism so personally. It's just art. I'm not the only one with these thoughts, I'm just the only one to say them without hiding behind anonymity.

I think they're kinda lame. even this stuff, just seems...old, done before, not new.

It must suck to be an artist in Seattle, but my artists friends who make a living don't seem as frustrated and exhausted in the way that Jen thinks SBC are.

That's all. Geez. I'm not even an art critic. Why take me to task. You couldn't even post non-anonymously.....

Hey Terry, I'm one of the artists, @12 is not one of us. We make it a habit to not comment on these things. Oh wait, shit...

I like the model of the gas-station park. I hope they finish the real one. Also, what's that flak cannon thing in the background? Guess I need to make another trip downtown soon...

"the answer, my friend..." reminds me of a piece i saw in september at the hamburger bahnhof in berlin - i took video of it and posted it to my flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jezbian/411…
...i know i knew the name of the artist who did it already, but failed to note it down, and am (as of yet unsuccessfully) googling to try and figure out who did it....

Is this narcisssism or do they actualy care. The park piece seems to suggest that they are actually engaging with environmental issues and trying to make something that can have a place int he public arena. The rest of it is pure art world self referential self indulgent materialism, as far as I can see. Susan Platt artanadpoliticsnow.com

Its curious Austin Plann Curley constructed a piece in his sculpture class with two hair dryers blowing at each other secured within a wooden stand .
Hair dryers turn off when they get to hot, there lies the joke, or primary focus of the piece.

yada yada.

thought id add my two cents.

John Wayne Radtke

P.S. I do not expect you to know who i am talking about, in regards to Austin if you are interested Google the man he does stuff, #17 post meister.

PEACE.
