    Like the silver sphere Homegger thing -but missing something the Germans, Italians and Russians bring... does avant garde need a spattering of fascism as a tipping point?

    This is completely mesmerizing. Despite the angst on most of their faces it seemed like a lot of fun, too. That fat little Carl Bucher thing (sculpture? bar? aquarium? some kind of futuristic tv?) has won my heart.
