clyfford still update

the clyfford still museum website has been updated with a few additional images for the new allied works building:








just looking at the site plan for the new museum conjures up strange feelings about the blatant disregard for an architectural master plan in this part of denver's downtown. it is a an intense mix of "styles", and each project is dying for attention in its own way [don't forget me [old DAM]; look at me, please [DPL]; i dare you to look at me [new DAM]; and don't look at me [CSM]...].

it is the ultimate "bilbao" recipe-- a dish with too many cameo chefs: ponti, graves, libeskind, and cloepfil.

our tummy hurts...

i love you, but you're bringing me down...

architecture, i love you
[but you're bringing me down]

architecture, i love you
[but you're bringing me down]

like a rat in a cage
pulling minimum wage...

ncarb is waaaay too slow
[and they're wasting my time]

my records all show
they are filthy and i am fine

but they shuttered their stores
when i stepped on their top floor
[like all the other kids who came calling]
and they'd run out of time

ncarb, you're far from perfect
[and you won't change a thing]

your invisible board of directors
are convinced they are kings

so the boring collect
[i mean all disrespect]

you drive me to neighborhood bars
and give me cause to drink

ncarb, I hate you
['cause you're freaking me out]

there's none of your twist
so i gives you my shout

like a death in the hall
that i hear through your calls

architecture, I Love You
but you're freaking me out

like a death of the heart
jesus,--where do I start?

and oh.. Take me off your mailing list
for kids that think it still exists
yes, for those who think it still exists

maybe I'm wrong
and maybe you're right
maybe I'm wrong
and maybe you're right

maybe you're right
maybe I'm wrong
and just maybe you're right

And Oh..
maybe your mother told you true
that all the interns will always wait for you
[and you'll never be alone]

but maybe she's wrong
and maybe I'm right
and just maybe she's wrong

maybe she's wrong
and maybe I'm right
and if so, is there?
