Sponsored by Queens Gallery the Flux Factory, (the useless Hipster shitstains responsible for the Original Art Boat,)the goal of this project, the Boatel, is "the fulfillment of a longtime desire to exist on the water in a way that is creative and financially self-sustaining". However, the art boat hotel is completely unsustainable. Its uses a temporarily donated berth to earn $50-$100 per day, and is paid for with volunteer labor and the trust funds of various "Brooklyn artists". Once summer ends, I can guarantee these entitled brats won't be working long, if any, hours on the dock.
The Boatel is located in the Rockaways, which was only recently discovered thanks to the Hipster crowd. The founding artist, Ms. Constance Hockaday, had never even been to Rockaway, although after moving here from Texas she spent plenty of time in Brooklyn. Another stupid fuck who volunteered for the project, an actor and carpenter "from" Bushwick said "There's not many places I’ve been to where you can see wetlands, public housing, a school bus depot, an international airport and five species of birds". Wow its like the five amazing natural and cultural backdrops he was looking for his whole life just appeared before him. Lets add a waste transfer station, a rain forest, a bike repair/coffee shop and a space shuttle launching pad and this stupid fuck will be in ironic Hipster heaven.
"Artist" Constance Hockaday (on right) used 10% of her budget on that nifty neon sign |
