For whatever reason… I’m pulling for paper-mache. But don’t let that swing your vote.

at first, i was pulling for paper mache, but frank the snowman already covered that particular territory. However, watching a slideshow while chillin on beanbag chairs sounds AWESOME!!

@mystery gal
Don’t forget that you may be able to ride up and down in the elevator while yer chillin’!!! It’s almost like an amusement park ride :)

will you travel this performance to NY? I think my being in attendance might change what i vote for

Meridith took the 1 vote per IP address. I’m barred unless you’ll take my clay & the ducttape vote over the comment board.

@meredith
if the SFMOMA’s freight elevator makes stops in NY, then yes, we’ll definitely travel this to NY. Other than that, I would urge everyone to contact their local contemporary art museum and ask them to invite MTAA.

“clay, rocks, duct tape, CD players, a PA”
I disagree with CD players, but everything else makes this the clearest win!!

Clay, rocks, duct tape, CD players, & a PA are 2 turntables & a microphone for the 21st century.

Hmmm…”comics, iPods, tinfoil, cardboard, a PA” is making an out of nowhere break for it today. Something must be in the air.

But rocks… who can resist em? There aren’t enough rocks in art after the 15th century.

Hey! Can I be your PA? I have lots of Production Assistant experience. ;p
admin | Nov 29, 2008 at 11:41 pm
hi Lyra,
I think we meant PA as in Public Address, an audio system. But now that you mention it, it would be nice to have some help.
