they don't look like they'd be big enough to live in! but yes, they will probably be big enough for you to take a shit on.

...insertion of private objects into public spaces as a method of renegotiating the meaning of both. typical art school bullshit; meaningless nonsense to fiat a false sense of entitlement and justification...

MY rent was just increased by 8%....with the gas prices...stock market...economy...etc etc...I am still expected to come up with 8% more a month to just live here. YET....some idiot gets money handed to them to build tree houses because he is an 'artist'?????? It's a fucking TREE HOUSE!!!!!!! Where is the art????????? I think I may just go to the park...take a shit on one of these so called huts....and label it art! Maybe I can get some money then too so I can pay the extra rent I will now be charged!!!! On a side note.....The waterfalls were such a huge success I can see why they will be damaging yet more trees for an art project.
