this one is quite obvious, but that’s the deal with Joe;s work, how he can twist the F out of obvious.
\nI like how it breaks down into a bottomline code, for humanity. and even, the best drive or evolutionary instinct within human<\/strong>-ity.
\nit’s kind of a 3D pictogram or hieroglyph.<\/p>\n

if I were able to fork out the big chunk of green backs ($$$) these pieces prob commando, this would be the one I’d get. I like the lightbulb one above very much, and it’s very elegant. If you had one of his more messy, expressionist abstract paintings, such as those in the GBE show: ‘Lotus Beaters’ of a few years back – you might pick this one & that would definite rock . . in context.
\nbut just in the vacuum of pure thought – this is the one I would plunk my mini fortune down on. its got such a great, ‘so damn’ ugly edge.
\nplus it’s just a broader metaphor – to reach for, plus it’s funnie. as opposed to elegant.
\nplus its . . . wood ? bow wow.<\/p>\n

ps: for our foreign friends: ‘Krasdale’ is a brand of cheap, lower end corporate + prob modified the hell out of, mostly super processed food ‘stuff’ – found in lower end stores & grocery chains in NYC and beyond. your typical NYC bodega would carry Krasdale items. low end macaroni and cheese, anybody.
\nfood for thought, not normally. but in Joe’s hands . . . yes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
