An Instagram shows a pic of the floor. https://i.imgjar.co/jar/09I63a8S4kyDoGOMs-BZzA.png a few other instagrams look like the same design but a ceiling design during construction.

Isn't it funny how even an architectural sketch from JA looks greasy and dirty.

I can only imagine the hygiene standards in his pizza joint...

No kidding... i think of the majestic ape things vid about finding ordinary ketchup.

I remember seeing an ig pic on this hub related to Sparky Alefantis ig friends, showed a guy holding a piece of pizza. His hand was smeared with fresh blood and it was on the pizza.

I didnt save it, but now i wonder why majestic ape thing made such a big deal about ketchup in a vid sketch.

Maybe Bucks camping and fishing restaurant is better, but with a classy name like that I'm doubtful... sounds more code cause buck antlers show up in these circles a lot.

"They are known for purchasing "awkward" works, such as video installations, that many other private collectors will not consider. "It's easy to store them, but difficult to display them," says [Anthony] Podesta. To get round the problem, he and his wife have excavated a huge subterranean vault beneath their house outside Washington - a white space 5m square and 4m high in which it will be possible to show "very complicated video pieces" on all four walls."

A quote from an article in the guardian about Anthony Podesta and his wife's art collection, in which they detail a large subterranean vault. Could well be related to the design we see in that link considering Alefantis' connections to the Podesta brothers. Although do keep in mind this article was posted in 2004, the connections that have been established now may not go as far back as then

Also just a side note, what type of people have subterranean vaults? Seems like it'd be pretty tricky to show off your artwork if its well, under your house...

yes that 'oh it's nothing, just our art vault' sounds like a cover story... four walls to get video art going in an essentially soundproof setting... does not sound positive.
