Modern Ruin

1. WaMu builds multi-million dollar new structure.
2. WaMu dies.
3. Chase doesn’t want to use building.
4. Never used multi-million dollar structure demolished this week.

Christina Rees and Thomas Feulmer curated a 15-artist exhibition entitled MODERN RUIN in the space last weekend (the building’s last standing). Some of the artists used materials that were left in the structure and many of the pieces will go down with the building.

A favorite piece was Micah’s :

My other favorite was a bear head made from metal blinds. “Unbearable” by Margaret Meehan :

My buddy Marianne gave me a laugh today with an email titled “You be famous”
with a link to this article.

Engaging idea for an exhibit.
Way to go Thomas & Christina.
