It is not. This is a federal building. All new federal buildings are under the art and architecture program and as such 0.5% of the construction project allocated to acquiring the work of American artists. It has nothing to do with the FBI.

No one “needs” art. Until it is all gone that is.

The irony here being that they literally had to reestablish the swamp this was built on because it had been damaged by a previous developer.

So when one of those 40 fucking artists puts in the work and years and actually becomes an internationally recognised sculptor there is no way the US government should acquire their work? 40 $50,000 pieces of art will mean that art will never progress beyond the $50,000 imagination. Small ideas, small imaginations…

All the stars in the galaxy for you!

You forgot ..NOT PAYING HIS CREDITORS.

This is not about decorative art. This is about the foresight of a government to set aside funds to ensure for future generations a legacy of excellence in architecture and American art because that contributes to the cultural heritage of the nation.

No, perhaps the organic form and materials have confused you. Sometimes what appears simple is a lot more complicated as it is here. That is not how this artist works. She ( and obviously she has assistants) uses a very labor intensive process to cut planks and interlock them, using handsaws, to build her forms.…

The assumption is that because he made a funny ‘OMFG” face , he didn’t know the topic or the question was coming and that he was not fine with it. I just see him playing it for the laugh. Her delivery was a little awkward, he played off that. Why must it be so complicated and sinister? And whilst I am here, there may…

Not her kids, his kids.

That sounds like- Don’t pay the ferryman until he gets you to the other side.

Using Australia as a reference doesn’t help those who have no clue that Australia is as big as the USA.

OMG- I know her.

Moment of clarity...I am an oriental sage! Finally I know what to put on my business card- thanks!

Absolutely agree. We also need to teach them the how to navigate a break up with dignity and kindness, and how to manage romantic rejection. If there is one thing guaranteed to mess with a teenage mind, it’s a break up. That kind of distress is a blow tonself esteem and leads to a cycle of poor choices and attitudes…

The Hans Christian Anderson Belville sets are beautiful but the scale is frustratingly incompatible.i love the onion domes. My girls love reaching for their older sisters Beleville but it gives me a facial tick to see a giant mermaid in the middlle of Atlantis. At least Friends is to a a closer scale. Perhaps LEGO…

Rock and hard place for the mom! They should have declined the upgrade! We have taken turns between bus and econ before but we have an older daughter who can look after herself and or help look after our twins. It is almost impossible for us to fly across one row nowadays so we are often split in a 2, 2, 1 or 3, 2…

I’m thinking “Don’t be a paleface” is not PC these days.

random dipshits= American Pediatrics, Child Safety Council, FFA

Ummm how did that happen? Were the kids labelled “unaccompanied minors”? That is bizarre!
