Yeah, yeah, I've heard of it. I'm just for capital punishment. If I were president,.................. ooo if I were president. I have a long, graphic disortation on what I'd do, but I'm not gonna get into that. I've been told its too controversial.

I agree, the Plane Graveyard would be the greatest.. A fomer pilot in Nam, I would like to see the F4's Last Stand.

It looks like it may have had wheels at some point...I don't think examination tables often have wheels? (I may be completely off there). Its also in a room full of other beds...although we know we can't necessarily go by common sense in these places (there have been some odd things put in odd places!) I guess I will assume that it was a bed.

Tony, would you be talking about the restaurants in Massachusetts? If so, we used to go there a lot when I lived in New England! The ones we used to go to had polynesian entertainment.

It just looks like a regular hospital bed that's been raised fully at both ends. I doubt if both the leg and head supports would have been extended at the same time when it was occupied, and the lack of a mattress makes it look pretty weird too.

You can see the handles that are connected to a long pole with a thread on the end... before the days of hydraulics and power assistance I suspect (poor nurses!)

The metalwork nearest the camera does look scarily like stirrups... but I think they're just mounts for the wooden baseboard which has fallen off.

Sorry to be a kill-joy lol!

Yes....*sob* ~Me left me. Me left ~Me. I'm so confused. Anyway, Rich, the work of Mr. Witkin's that I was lucky enough to have been exposed to? If I had to give it a name, I would call it "Corpse Pornography". Motts, I promise, cross my heart, I will not stray again!!! Rich, I LOVE reading your comments, though. Your words are poetry to my ears, as the village, town, city-wanna-be, that I reside in is not possessive of a lot of culture.

Oh this could be so many things besides the alien teleportation device which immediately comes to mind. It makes me think 'nightclub' for some reason lol! When Motts has finished meditating he can get on up and strut his stuff on the dancefloor....

That or a jacuzzi on the Poseidon XD

I wonder what purpose it actually served?

mesmerized by its abstract composition, color, form and texture; historical reporting brough forth an artistic instinct. Beauty lives even in the wrecks!

In some ways Witkin's work is comparable to Damien Hurst and others in the pickled cow business... art to shock, for the sake of it in many cases. Witkin's stuff is actually quite clever in some instances but unneccessarily icky in many more. IMO his best work is the photoshopped images involving live (hence consenting) people not the charnel-house, gut-churning yuckiness... However unlike Hurst Witkin actually seems to have a talent...

Ok I'll shut up and stop trying to be an amateur art critic now ;-D

Yeah, architecturally it reminds me very much of a place called the 'Holiday Motel' in Torquay where we stayed a couple of times when I was but a nipper. Similar 1960s architecture, leaky flat roofs, flat-pack cardboard furniture, horrid colours. It too was 'minging' (as we say in England!) and it too died lol...
