I loved this video when it first came out.
I think it reminded me of some of the students I taught at RISD over the years.
Particularly the students who would be assigned a drawing project but would decide to perform an
interpretive dance instead of making a drawing. Always enjoyable.

It took 2 years to build this first production version of the Flatpak House. I will post images as we set up home in our new digs.
China painting factories 07
In March 07 I traveled to Shezhen, China to sort out production for a series of paintings. The factory painters were mostly young and all talented. Like 1980's art students they wore concert t-shirts, took frequent smoke breaks, and played alternative music very loud from a tinny CD player. All of the painters were either friends or relatives of one another. The factories themselves looked less warehouse and more apartment building. The office of the factory I visited had not only wall to wall carpeting but wall to ceiling. It was a plush environment. The Da Fen district, where all of the oil painting factories reside, is marked by a giant, (very communist) statue of a hand holding a paintbrush. Surreal doesn't quite express the region. The images shown do not depict the artwork I was working on, but rather, the artwork these factories all too often produce.
