The New Yorker s always enterprising Ben McGrath made the harrowing, God-awful trek to Queens last week to visit Flux Factory, an alleged artist s collective. He appears to have survived the ordeal to the living installation called NOVEL without vomiting once.* (New Yorker writers have a higher tolerance for pretentiousness than us, naturally.) He even observed a little live blogging(!) from writer/resident blogger Laurie Stone:

Laurie Stone didn t respond to a couple of knocks on her wall. She appeared to be napping.

Very impressive. We re still at the stage where we just close our eyes and bang the keyboard. -KEW

*The "quotes" are his, actually.
