The Austrian Cultural Forum in midtown – truly one of the strangest places I know. Not just the crazy design of the building (above photos are only tip of the iceberg) but the interior, too. And who can even make sense of their website? You enter and there’s like a hundred little tiny floors. Staircases everwhere. And a giant silver elevator that looks like the orgasmatron that says “out of order.”
Anyhow, there was a show up — a 5 year “greatest hits” — but I couldn’t for the life of me tell you what I was looking at. Looked mostly like sketches for a street grid. And not, like, a cool one out of Tron or something. . .just, like, regular. Then there was a video screen showing commercials. Far out.
The handouts at the front desk were intense, though. Thick, well designed booklets. I may come back to the ACF to hear music some day.
