G-won, check it out, it'd be fun. You haven't been away for ages. Look at some Art in a Public Place and then write the whole shebang off as a research trip. That's what the fat cats do.

The Gunk Foundtion
The Gunk Foundation is
a charitable operating foundation that was established in December 1994 to
provide a counterbalance to the recent, disturbing trends in funding for
intellectual endeavors. The intellectual core in many countries has suffered a
variety of setbacks over the last decade—massive cutbacks in governmental
support for non-military, non-corporate projects; a conservative backlash that
has effectively censored many forms of communication; the spreading grip of
corporate funding for all forms of intellectual production; and the economic,
social and ideological shifts created by the forces of globalization. It is our
hope that The Gunk Foundation will help to challenge some of these
trends.
