I was on the LES on Saturday and I passed by this building on the corner of Houston and Mulberry. 290 Mulberry is the exact address and the building turns out to be a new luxury building. I dare you to go to the developer’s website and see how much a loft is going for! No wonder the building is vacant. I hope it will stay this way for a long time because the light show they put up is lovely!

Liu Dong, We Tend to Become Emotionally Involved in Subject Matters that Were Invented, 2009.
they talk down through
the centuries to us,
and this we need more and more,
the statues and paintings
in midnight age
as we go along
holding dead hands.
and we would say
rather than delude the knowing:
a damn good show,
but hardly enough for a horse to eat,
and out on the sunshine street where
eyes are dabbled in metazoan faces
i decide again
that in theses centuries
they have done very well
considering the nature of their
brothers:
it’s more than good
that some of them,
(closer really to the field-mouse than
falcon)
have been bold enough to try.

It’s fascinating how Berlin artist Dennis Feddersen’s biomorphic works take over the space they occupy, devouring it, feeding off of it. I find Gentle Civilizer particularly interesting as it reminds me of Gregor Samsa’s transformation into a gigantic pest in Kafka’s Metamorphis.
