Art House bullskit

I was all walking down the street and I saw this crazy art installation being put up.
Apparently it was designed and conceived by Rob Ley and Joshua Stein.
Here is a video of what it is supposed to look like and some babble jabble that does not make sense to me.





Reef redefines the role of architectural envelope by capitalizing on emerging material technology to imbue space with behavioral qualities. In this installation at Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York, the public engages in the new social nuances revealed as exhibition is redefined by exploding the perceived 'wall' separating private and public space. The responsive membrane creates a diverse range of porous and dynamic enclosures capable of producing sophisticated, flexible responses to an existing program. Reef creates an interior condition which reacts according to an exterior street-scape, and reasserts an active, willful role in shaping that public space.


Does anyone understand this?

Later I took Alena, Felicia, and Miss Chris to go see it on the opening night.
There were a lot of fancy people there ......I was all .."Let us use the installation to shield us from their mediocrity!"




Then we made our own live installation.




Later Miss Chriss asked when the twinkle lights were gonna go on.
The curator was all .."Ugh..there are no lights"(insert disgusted look here)
Then we left feeling less cultured than when we got there.
