Thanks for posting my work! Glad you enjoyed it.
Well, I think the museum actually owns their building and leases to WaMu. 😉
That’s pretty awesome. Nice work, you mischievous jackanapes!
WaMu and SAM co-own the land (as mentioned in
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/visualart/379714_samwamu19.html ), and WaMu actually rents part of SAM’s building — not the other way around. If JPMorgan wants to shitcan the museum, they will need quite a few lawyers to do it. Note that this is a PROPOSED land use action.
Um, Nandor, no it’s not.
The font looks wrong for “NOTICE OF” etc., but otherwise it’s brilliant.
@4 – Ummm…did you actually read the notice? Carefully?
Good stuff. Props to whoever put the time and effort into this one.
There ought to be a Nobel Prize for Thoughtful Mischief. Hell, they give out prizes for economics and what favors have those laureates done us?
#6, I did read the notice, although it is difficult to see the map. What I’m confused about is this: If SAM own their own building, what gives JPMorgan the right to tear down their building?
And Fnarf (#5) and the general public: I am admittedly an amateur — I don’t really know what a “proposed” land use action means. I was just using a non-legal definition of “proposed”. Sorry about that. But please help me here: What is this about? Does JPMorgan have the right to demolish SAM?
Something that is unclear to me is whether SAM own the land. I believe they do, but I’ve looked through a couple articles and haven’t found that (and don’t have the time to look through more articles).
Rembrandt. Picasso. Pollock. The Fake Proposed Land Use Action Notice Guy.
Oh good god — I am the most gullible person on SLOG!
Nandor: it’s a JOKE. The sign is NOT REAL. It was not put up by the city, it was put up by an artist.
@9 – While you’re looking up land use and legal terms in books, look up “irony” “humor” and “performance art.”
Nandor, alas, your English usage is even worse than your bullshit-detection; there is no such word as “gullible” in the English language.
You know, it’s a clever joke, but it’s really not that far off the mark. After all, the Renaissance Madison Hotel (or whatever it’s calling itself these days) was built to be either a hotel or an office building, depending on the economy. And the Red Lion hotel used to be a bank building.
Yeah, many former office buildings in Lower Manhattan have been converted to residential buildings over the years. It happens, just maybe not with such new buildings.
