Part of the dream was a real mess and I can't even begin to describe it...something with bathtubs and coffee (which they were discussing on the radio...the coffee part, not the tub part). But the part I remember was I was in the CSU art building, walking towards the Drawing wing. It was big like a mall and grey, with lots of confusing twists and turns that don't exist there IRL. I was telling someone I was with, either a real person or someone in my head (imagine, someone in my head...inside a dream...whoah, it's like looking in a wall mirror while holding a hand mirror, and you're looking at the hand mirror in your reflection in the wall mirror) that I like dreaming or being in this art building better than the "Other One" (i.e., UW). I see Dave Yust there...he is carrying around some cut-out wood pieces that were similar in form to Henri Matisse's leaves. We didn't say hi or anything; I don't think he recognized me.
Then I get the the end of the line, which is a great big huge drawing room the size of a gymnasium. They have a bunch of my metal leaf on textural acrylic paint paintings on the wall, and each and every one of them has a red mark on them. It's large, like tags or graffiti but it's very cryptic and scribbled. Sort of like when you see cars that are to be parted out in a junkyard. I have about a dozen paintings there, as if there was an exhibit and all the other exhibitors had come to pick theirs up already.
I'm aghast, and don't know what to do. I think I find someone, a professor or someone, and tell them what happened. There's a young woman there who starts taking pictures of each painting with her cellphone, I don't know if it's for evidence or what.

Do you think the red marks on the paintings were done as some sort of conceptual art happening?
You know the old CSU has a new art museum addition - so do you think we should see it?
Dave Y. probably wouldn't recognize us if he saw us, and I'm not sure I would recognize him either.
Conceptual art happening, like by a bunch of UW trust fund snots who consider art that hangs on walls as tools of the bourgeoisie (sp?) capitalist society so they feel compelled to destroy it as an act of protest, and who would care anyway and if you do care, you have severe issues with attachment to physical objects and you're not enlightened and have no right to be enrolled in this art school why don't you go to MATC and get a technical degree if all you care about is making money, meanwhile they're taking spring break in the Caribbean.
Strange how so many trust fund babies can never grow up and go through life as hard core capitalists while putting on a front of being so liberal that they are as red a the old Soviet Union.
Barf of them anyway....
