Cultural bias and "Islamophobia" aside - the artist didn't really create something that "obscures the perceived divide between Iranian and US identities", or a "sculptural symbol for the transference of culture in which one’s personal politics are recontextualized and cross-examined".<br /><br />It did manage to get the hairs on the back of my neck to raise up. It looks, for all intents and purposes like a typical Islamic "education center" that you see "over there" - obscuring the identities and activities of those that frequent them... usually young impressionable undereducated males that are "instructed" in the proper path to enlightenment.<br /><br />Basically, in my opinion, the artist failed to convey anything of what the description intended, and until I had walked up an read the poorly-placed, ridiculously small placard, I was convinced someone had sold it too an Iranian-back "outreach" organization.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-6523449479386865192014-09-08T12:09:31.288-04:002014-09-08T12:09:31.288-04:00who cares. tear it down and build that miller brot...who cares. tear it down and build that miller brothers artist community thingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-21715751758987802872014-09-08T09:32:28.034-04:002014-09-08T09:32:28.034-04:00now that building is wrapped up, who knos what is ...now that building is wrapped up, who knos what is going on in there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-39252666626201390042014-09-08T09:06:17.665-04:002014-09-08T09:06:17.665-04:00Anon 7:18
