Just surface dirt, it should come off easily. Dirt keeps the prices down! $2.99.
Edit: nope, it was baked on grunge. Now for the oven cleaner treatment.
Stumbled upon an abandoned (and condemned!) restaurant today. I snuck in (past the Gas Company people) and started taking pictures. Had to make my presence known when they starting putting the door back on with me inside. The guy was very cool about letting me stay in to shoot, as long as I promised to put the door back. He even told me how to get upstairs (more to come!)
Filthy Lucre: Whistler's Peacock Room Reimagined
(Jamuary – November 2020)
This immersive installation by contemporary artist Darren Waterston presents a detailed and decadent interpretation of James Abbott McNeill Whistler's famed Peacock Room, a sumptuous 19th-century interior.
Waterston's installation is an unsettling re-interpretation of Whistler's celebrated Peacock Room, inspired by the tension between art and money, ego and patronage. Filthy Lucre faithfully recreates each of the Peacock Room's individual elements with a twist, drawing parallels between the economic inequality of the Victorian era and today. Replicating, accentuating and distorting the lavish interior of Whistler's masterpiece, Waterston transforms the room into an uneasy experience of destruction and twisted excess, revealing a magnificent ruin crumbling under the weight of material decadence and the egos of those involved in its creation.
The title Filthy Lucre is inspired by a vengeful caricature Whistler painted called The Gold Scab: Eruption in Frilthy Lucre, 1879, depicting Leyland as a hideous, grasping peacock, mocked for his miserliness and his unfashionable frilly shirts.
I set out to recreate Whistler's fabled Peacock Room in a state of decadent demolition – a space collapsing in on itself, heavy with its own excess and tumultuous history. Darren Waterston
Created through extensive collaboration, Filthy Lucre demonstrates master craftsmanship to reimagine the luxurious wood panelling, ornate lighting pendants and stunning ceramics collection, as well as decorative wall art and a captivating central portrait that draws viewers into the room.
This craftmanship draws parallels with the V&A's vast collections, encompassing interior design, decorative arts, painting and ceramics. On display for the first time in the UK, the installation also features supporting material and video content to further explore the fascinating history of this iconic room and reveal a behind-the-scenes look at Waterston's process. A soundscape by New York-based rockers BETTY enhances the installation experience, filling the space with muffled gossiping voices and a mournful cello.

I'm still not sure exactly what it was that got this crap pile started inside the computer. Remarkably, the computer was still functioning fairly normally.

Today's theme being 'filthy' I decided to go with the saying 'filthy lucre' ...... "what's good for them isn't necessarily good for you, no matter how much filthy lucre they throw your way"
An exhibition running at Bristol’s very grand ’Royal West Of England Art Academy’ until 2nd May.
The exhibition is showcasing the talents of some of the city’s best and most influential graffiti and street artists.
Only a few weeks left now and I can’t recommend it enough.
I will try and name all the writers and artists I can but I have just uploaded 68 pictures from the exhibition and am just about to open my second cider of the evening.
