Ugly links

Brian Libby goes to "The Couv" and checks out Maya Lin.

Mighty Toy Cannon considers Portland's Ugly...

Is the Portland Building the world's ugliest as some suggest? No, but It is probably the most dated edifice to the 80's I can imagine. On the plus side it has an installation art program with a stipend. I've never seen an installation that actually played off the 80's nostalgia, but someone should.

Thanks for the citation on Portland's Ugly, although I should point out that it was not written by me (Jeff Hawthorne) but rather by my colleague, the ever-clever and far more prolific Mighty Toy Cannon.
