Organic Architecture & Stolen Automobiles.

Jan 18, 2006 23:01

I dream't that my family and I had taken a trip to Bartelsville, OK to see the ruins of Bruce Goff's masterpiece, the Joe Price Studio (Shin'enKan).

Instead of finding a pile of coal and glass cullet, we found an inflatable recreation of one it's wings. As we were examining it, we heard our rental car's alarm go off. We dashed back to find it gone. Some Okie had stolen our sweet chariot! Luckily, I had the foresight to keep all my electronic gadgetry on my person. I called the rental car company and they were able to locate it, and inform the local constabulary. As we were waiting for our vehicle to be returned, we walked about the country side. Amongst the cows was a great orange roofed structure, very similar to Goff's (also destroyed) Glen Harder house,

except that it had a few windmills protruding from its astroturf canopy.

Back in the real world, I added Raymond Scott (1908-1994) to my MySpace, and asked the curator when the next album of his electronic work will be out (2007!). I also wrote a skilled typographer and asked if he could make me a version of Le Corbusier's stencils. I hope he is willing.
