Lofty
Living ...
It's
not Fifth Avenue,
but it is unique and very interesting, if you like turn-of-the-century, industrial-chic
decor
and the rhythmic suround-sound that emanates from the workings of heavy equipment that even in today's high-tech world, continue to crank, moan and whir throughout the days and nights -as they did at the turn of the century - sending echos through corridors and canyons that form between the factory buildings that populate the neighborhood around the loft.
Treble, the parrot and Scruffy, the cat add their own screeches and muted meows to the cacophony of the neighborhood.
Eclectic
kitchen decor blends with an array of bird cages, exposed plumbing, large industrial
windows, architectural accents, pots, plants and creatively-designed
lamps, paintings and, metallic sculptures created by
Ruth Kahn,
High Priestess
of the Loft and
The Outpost and
artist-in-residence.
Also
housed in the loft is a...
Film
Studio - called,
The
Outpost
It
is illuminated by high energy young filmmakers, who
labor day and night, staring into one-eyed MAC- Creatures, that hold them spellbound
with rapidly changing sounds and images.
They edit documentaries filmed
by
young New York filmmakers, who have won grants to have their work professionally
edited at the Outpost - and in their spare time in the wee hours of late nights
and early mornings, those same editors find time to follow their own passions
- editing their own film projects.
