More From Robert Smithson

The place has had a super-conflicted relationship to its mission. in 1956, it opened as the museum of contemporary crafts. then in 1986 it had a midlife crisis and changed its name to the american craft museum. then in 2002 the name changed again, this time to the museum of arts and design. maybe in 2025 the place will be called the designatorium. the big problem with a museum of craft and design is that all art has craft and design.

Then when we did the untitled record, we just didn't feel like putting joke stuff on it, so we didn't. it wasn't really a deliberation or a real introspective thing like, "are we going to joke on this one, are we not going to joke on this one?" we just didn't feel like it on the untitled one, so we didn't.

Generalization, especially risky generalization, is one of the chief methods by which knowledge proceeds... safe generalizations are usually rather boring. delete that "usually rather." safe generalizations are quite boring.

The decor bowled me over. everywhere i looked, there was something more to see. botanical prints, a cross section of pomegranates, a passionflower vine and its fruit. stacks of thick books on art and design and a collection of glass paperweights filled the coffee table. it was enormously beautiful, a sensibility i'd never encountered anywhere, a relaxed luxury. i could feel my mother's contemptuous gaze falling on the cluttered surfaces, but i was tired of three white flowers in a glass vase. there was more to life than that.
