Nothing Boxes

Artist Stefan Bruggemann's "Nothing Boxes" exhibit consists of stacks of boxes with the word "Nothing" written on them. (Or is it "No thin 6"?) Idea: He should team up with The Something Store!

I'm sorry to hear you say that Outeast. You obviously have missed the whole point of the artist's meaning. The empty boxes, the childish scrawl, and, yes, even the way the boxes are stacked 4 square and in perfectly aligned rows and columns all demonstrate his feel for mankind in these troubled times who, collectively, are crying out for order in their lives that are being sucked dry (into nothingness) by it all.

So would this be an art show about nothing?

Wouldn't this be a great way to smuggle contraban across the border? "No need to check this box, it says it has nothing in it."

Yeah, Andy's right. The lying artist should have written "AIR" on the sides on the boxes.

Viceman - watching a little too much Star Wars on Spike this weekend?

I have the DVD's, plus the VHS tapes of the undefiled (Han Shot First!) versions, yet I always seem to watch them when they come on TV. Am I just too lazy to put in the tapes, or do I enjoy commercial interuptions?

I like the commercials. Time to piss or get a snack.

patty - I get all caught up in movies and can never decide when to stop it just to go pee. At least commercials make the decision for me.
