I wish they would change the name of the project to The Shark Sandwich Project, that way all other critics could give it the appropriate two word review it deserves.
I am however impressed with it as a marketing campaign and must give Adam and Dessi Price kudos for that. This was a very nice creative way to get a few thousand people to know about your the upcoming super cool “two-car-garage-passive-solar-urban-living-lofts.” They have said that they wanted to live in a NYC type atmosphere so I guess they decided they would have to build a crack house, kick out all the artist, raise the prices, and let the yuppies move in! congratulations to them again for the completion of the crack house.
BUT! Please spare me the pain of hearing the term artist associated with this project. Of the 140+ people they have labeled artist at most 2 maybe 3 could qualify to be called such. Just as I wouldn’t qualify to be a doctor simply because I walked into a hospital with a stethoscope, so the participants of this project are as far from artist as I am from a doctor—a few more years of dedicated schooling and residency will do them some good.
And Finally My Cry to KEEP UNDERGROUND UNDERGROUND! it just isn’t pretty when one tries to bring it into the light!
