Our house is a very, very, very fat house
I'm not enthusiastic about art museums. It's probably because I don't enjoy decyphering the meaning of art, and so I tend to stare blankly at most paintings and photographs. That's what I was doing today at the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University... until I came upon the "Fat House." It's pictured above. For your enjoyment, I also took a video of it.
I'm sure there's some greater meaning to Fat House, which is the creation of the Austrian-born artist Erwin Wurm, but the hell if I know what it is. Nor do I care. All I need to know is this: In a building full of conceptual photographs and abstract paintings, there is a giant, bulbous house that talks. How outstanding is that? This crap is made for people like me.

Vaguely reminds me of Thurber's drawing of a house wrapping its arms around a guy.
