Hey UDS! We have a vision for the Primordial Soup Kitschen! The structure will be a large soup can on its side. Check out the design…the middle section is a painted canvas placed on top of last year’s Factory. The gold seal design is still evolving…see you soon for a paint party or two! Amoeba aka Robin

hello UDS!

As most of you know, the soup kitchen is now the “Primordial Soup Kitschen” – it is evolving into a state of chaotic art and potential! The structure is a very large soup can. The inside welcomes you with hanging soup bowls and spoons of the Kitsch variety, gently making soup-like sounds in the breeze and expressing the evolution of art, bowls, and whatever!

HOW YOU CAN HELP! Next time you pass a garage sale, stop and look for the most sentimental, poor-tasting bowls and spoons you can find…better yet: MAKE SOMETHING! we need a good collection!

To help in your quest, I’ve included the definition of Kitsch and the link to Wikipedia’s explanation.

Kitsch (/kɪtʃ/) is the German and Yiddish word denoting art that is considered an inferior, tasteless copy of an extant style of art. The term kitsch was a response to the 19th century art whose aesthetics convey exaggerated sentimentality and melodrama, hence, kitsch art is closely associated with sentimental art. Moreover, kitsch (art) also denotes the types of art that are like-wise æsthetically deficient (whether or not it is sentimental, glamorous, theatrical, or creative) making it a creative gesture that merely imitates the superficial appearances of art (via repeated conventions and formulae), thus, it is uncreative and unoriginal; it is not Art. Contemporaneously, kitsch also (loosely) denotes art that is æsthetically pretentious to the degree of being in poor taste, and industrially-produced art-items that are considered trite and crass.

here are some good examples:
