Tarfu's last and most infamous living sculpture occupied the entire three floors of a deserted warehouse on the lower Eastside. Though the show was filmed and photographed thoroughly for posterity, and its esthetics have been discussed at length in my daily column, I feel that a description of the particulars is once again in order for the story I wish to relate. * * * *Upon the night of the opening I was among the first guests to arrive. I had hoped to dash off a preliminary review, or at least a comment, for the morning edition. Little did I know that I would devote my entire five hundred precious words and more to the events which were to follow. The large building appeared dark and deserted at the time scheduled for the show to begin. Several persons in the gathering crowd suggested that perhaps the posters and handbills had been printed incorrectly and we had congregated at the wrong address. As for myself, I suspected that Tarfu was merely preparing us, invoking a sense of anticipation and mystery as he had often done in the past. Unlike the body of his contemporaries, he believes that in this day and age the practicing artist needs to become a showman and entrepreneur. Not only must he assume such roles, he should strive to make them an essential element in the expression of his creative energies. To quote: "Art is eternal; the part played by its makers remains constantly in flux."
