Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others originate those feelings."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-54087999135423672882011-10-06T15:16:59.122-04:002011-10-06T15:16:59.122-04:00I would probably laugh and then ignore the box wea...I would probably laugh and then ignore the box wearer. Such a "lark" says "me-me-me-me-me" and I don't appreciate people who are so self involved. Let the artists and their art have their time in the sun. I don't find this discussion contentious, quite the opposite, it is enlightening to hear how others feel/think. It is definitely a Rayna "thing".Delhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433487427679233617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-83751810984590070082011-10-06T04:33:59.711-04:002011-10-06T04:33:59.711-04:00I would hope for you that it is a performance by M...I would hope for you that it is a performance by Mummenschanz http://www.mummenschanz.ch/ !Cäciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333640133702103260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-59922470539449364812011-10-05T21:26:32.882-04:002011-10-05T21:26:32.882-04:00oh pahleeeze......what an attention seeker!oh pahleeeze......what an attention seeker!Natalya Khorover Aikenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490493432155941262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-23095045707900521932011-10-05T16:36:06.234-04:002011-10-05T16:36:06.234-04:00After reading all the comments, I'll stick wit...After reading all the comments, I'll stick with my original reaction... the person was just plain thoughtless. Not necessarily rude. Just going with what he/she thought would be a lark. Clearly in need of some attention.<br /><br />Were you seriously surprised about all your NYC waiters being actors? I have NYC actor friends and they have all done their time in the food industry. Seems a natural fit to me - most people in love with art of any kind also seem to love food, myself included. On a trip to France, I took lots of pictures of food; outdoor markets, shop windows, food food food. No - I'm not overweight! And I love to cook.<br /><br />Best to you on this beautiful fall day - TheaThea Beleczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987139441091333949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-74115881321057123432011-10-05T14:30:46.500-04:002011-10-05T14:30:46.500-04:00I think it would be great!

Yes, at first it might distract from the exhibit itself, but I think it would inject a shot of humor into the crowd and bring some smiles to a lot of faces (apparently not to some who have posted before me). Unless the box person became too talkative, annoying, boisterous,etc., I think it would be fun. I'd like to think that I might do something like that myself, but I probably wouldn't; I'm too self-conscious.<br />Lynn KunzLynn K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07269227184674989136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-59388207519237850322011-10-05T11:12:35.172-04:002011-10-05T11:12:35.172-04:00I generally just ignore that kind of display and g...I generally just ignore that kind of display and go about enjoying the real exhibit.Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959081275116311853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-20651670027813654742011-10-05T11:10:58.198-04:002011-10-05T11:10:58.198-04:00At first I might be shocked,, but then ask them to...At first I might be shocked,, but then ask them to be a mime in the show.. maybe get some paint and add to the box, if it were just a plain box...<br />when lemons arrive, make lemonade.

Honestly, I don’t understand what the fuss is about. Someone walks into an art show whose theme is Boxes wearing a box -- what could be more appropriate and fun. Maybe, just maybe, this individual is showing support for the artists in a lighthearted way. Instead of assuming it’s rude, egotistical, or “show off-y,” or making similar negative judgments, how about just enjoying the humor and novelty? <br /><br />I agree that if the box was decorated or embellished in any way, some questions might be legitimately raised. But a plain, unadorned, refrigerator or wardrobe box? Are artists so insecure about their work they’re afraid it will be upstaged by someone wearing a corrugated box? If so, maybe you ought to request mediocre hors d’oeuvres at the opening lest the food take attention away from your art. <br /><br />Rayna, I actually think the better question would be: You are an artist whose work appeared in an exhibit called Boxes, and it is the night of the opening. One of the attendees walks in wearing regular clothes in contrast to everyone else who is dressed in a refrigerator or wardrobe box? How would you, as one of the exhibiting artists, feel about that individual? What thoughts would go through your mind?<br /><br />:)AffaStudiohttp://affaffa.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-10181442036409752542011-10-04T20:11:46.010-04:002011-10-04T20:11:46.010-04:00I think it's clever & fun as it mirrors th...I think it's clever & fun as it mirrors the theme of the exhibit.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154076191981373564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-14317933785445289332011-10-04T18:44:15.862-04:002011-10-04T18:44:15.862-04:00I would feel mildly irritated by someone showing u...I would feel mildly irritated by someone showing up in a box and I would be thinking, "oh yeah, another guy who needs to make everything about HIM."

Opening the visitors' eyes for every day things and the meaning we imply. To me, the ultimate tea ceremony is to pour up some English tea with boiling water from an electric water boiler.
