I saw the res in NYC.

If you read the RES nmagazine with the Cunningham interview. He states
his disappointment with Flex. He apparently was going for something more
abstract and it came off too literal. I'd agree (My girlfriend hated it,
haha). The content seems to me to be irrelevant as he was really just
looking for a vehicle for some brillant technical ideas. To me, the
whole notion of "the body" and "human form" is pretty classic in the art
world (and a bit cliche beyond blank subject matter for sketches). I'd
say it was more of a study than anything else.

agreed. I really liked seeing Windowlicker again (and on the big
screen!)
