Groundbreaking Follow-up
Both Curbed and The Gutter have photographs from last Sunday's New Museum of Contemporary Art groundbreaking, mentioned here last week (unfortunately no exciting photos found for the Spertus groundbreaking).
Yep, that's a Shinto Priest.
Check out The Gutter link for a caption contest, one not nearly as ripe for commentary as this unrelated one at Archinect.

I wonder if the gossip circles noted that Brad the Builder was wearing a wedding ring.
ReplyDeleteBut I digress... Maybe he can play Howard Roark in a remake?
Spertus Groundbreaking report: While Redmoon musicians played their usual shtick, 2 cast members dressed like hooded quiet, Benedictine monks (?) hauled out from behind a curtain at the rear what looked like cheap white laminate drawers from an IKEA bedroom set. They stacked them - one on top of the other. Each had something meaningful inside - like cardboard-y menorah but it windy out on Michigan Ave and the wind blew all the identifying pieces of Judaica and Sperticus all over. The affair looked quite silly and then the two Redmoon monks placed a front on the building - it was faceted trapezoidal pieces of glass, a la Krueck and Sexton. All those responsible applauded and made the private but predictable joke that the real construction should go so easy.
