Ephemera : Tales From the Blue Pedal Car : Whistling in the Graveyard (#20)

Whistling in the Graveyard (#20)

This piece is a comment on early urban sprawl. The photo in the background is from the American Wire and Steel Company. They built 80 houses in seven months for their workers. That’s a lot of houses. So I decided to decorate them.

I put the primate in there—he’s sitting there, doesn’t care about the American Wire and Steel Company, and he also doesn’t use utensils. Now, we’re laughing at the fellow, but he has his back turned to progress and is laughing at us.

So there you go.

If you register and login you can view and post comments. (huh?)

One of the perks of membership is that you get to read and post comments on objects, museums, and other member's walls.

Comments aren't exactly secret (almost anybody can register!) but they aren't totally public either - they aren't indexed by searched engines and the user agreement says you can't publish them elsewhere without their author's permission.

(And some users have chosen to restrict access to their personal walls - in which case you'll have to friend them before you can post to their wall.)

Please don't feel excluded. It doesn't cost anything to register. Just sign up and you'll be an insider in no time flat.
