Built

House Attack, by Erwin Wurm. Installed on the external facade of Museum Moderner Kunst, Vienna for his current retrospective. A work which thrills with its witty objecthood, and touch of 'Where's Toto?'...However what it also does is illustrate once again how perfect some of the projects undertaken by Site Architects from the 70s truely were, in combining this sculptural slapstick with actual functionality. Their work for Best Products is phenomenal. See below for their 70's showroom, 'Indeterminate Facade Building, Houston,1974.'

Like a utopic premonition of Wallmart doing public art...
