Your Knees Need to be Cultured, Too

06Apr10

At first glance, I thought the Avenues was holding a sale on stacks of wood frames (come on, the possibility does exist). But it turns out this is supposed to be an exhibition displaying Architecture college students work. Just so you know. In case you are misled and attempt to buy the exhibition stands to make, I dunno, a square.

Aesthetically speaking, yawn. Functionally speaking, what function, yo? Most posters were displayed at knee-level, I’m not sure about you guys, but my eyes are on my head. The posters that were on eye-level (or, to be more specific, head-level) were printed so small you still had to stand really close to properly see them anyway. And architectural models were all crammed up inside the frames. (Out of embarrassment?)

I guess the work displayed must have been pretty shitty if they were trying to hide it so hard (I couldn’t tell, my knees are considerably eye-less), or maybe the work was even dangerous, which would explain the need to cage everything.

This is taken from their facebook group, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=39350148926 (with the editing done by my lovely assistant, that’s me, because I can’t afford an assistant at the moment). Past exhibitions have had their hits and misses, but I’m not sure they were even aiming this time. It’s like someone worked really hard to build a mountain bike for fish, and then decided to take the mountain bike apart and turn it into a pie.

I’m off to get a periscope, stay tuned for an update about the actual work that was displayed (maybe).
