There is this really strange thing about my school (OK, understatement of the year) -- we have an art building that no one ever uses. It's off in the woods, near the library, which in the winter is quite a trek to get to, requiring one to trudge down an icy trail that looks like it belongs in Narnia. People don't really talk about the art building. I think the story is that it's unsafe to hang around in -- not up to code or something. But the strangest thing about it is that it's full of stuff. People's unfinished art projects are scattered all around the place as though one day everyone just inexplicably left and never returned... In short, it's something of a mystery. I have never been in the art building myself, but a student in another residency made this video about it:

how recently was it abandoned? Everything looks new!
Man, strange. Did the guy say that they abandoned it even before it was finished?
I couldn't quite tell what he said, but that's entirely possible. I'm guessing the building was abandoned when Goddard shut down its year-round residential program in 2002. Then again, I noticed the check shown near the beginning is dated 2000. I'm totally going in there next time...
