V2nd - Bohemian life

[Mark Kohut]

Michael Bailey writes:
the rubric: a climate of impermanence (385)

sand-sculptures
unfinished canvases
thousands of paperback books suspended in tiers of cement blocks and
warped planks
great marble toilet stolen from a mansion in the East Seventies

so, yes, maybe they're "all part of the set to an experimental play
which its cabal of faceless angels could cause to be struck at any
moment without having to give their reasons"

but, attractive anyway, Raoul, Slab and Melvin's pad, n'est ca pas?
sort of a Temporary Autonomous Zone


(compare/contrast with other domestic scenes:
Foppl's digs
Roony's flat
Matilda's whorehouse

Warhol's Factory?)

Yes, the scene is attractive to one (Perhaps when young). But I guess
that makes the scoring against it more powerful. TRP finding mostly
rootlessness and therefore art that lacks in this scene............
