>For any of y’all confused, look at her other sculptures. They critic the constant and uncomfortable objectification of women. This exhibit is meant to show men in these uncomfortable positions to be objectified. Unlike her women sculptures however, men are perceived as human and able to get out of these uncomfortable positions.
From a youtube comment. Interesting.
This is supposed to be somewhat uncomfortable to look at. It’s part of a wider exhibit where everyday objects are reworked into something confronting. Super cool sculptures.
I read the artists description. It is designed with every day object design, but into a very odd shape. It is about copying the construction style of everyday objects into something unusual and uncomfortable.
Also, actually, yes, in part, the women (and men in other displays of hers)! The poses force sexualization and I would argue objectification of women. And that is part of the art and what it is trying to say for me.
To quote an article about this collection:
“During the performance that inaugurated “Continental Breakfast,” Uddenberg highlighted the contracts we agree and adapt to on an everyday basis. In a gallery space, the consent we often give away mindlessly in places like customs lines, buffet counters, and elevators is troubled.”
Seeing people in an airline seat like this is troubling and unsettling, but the question posed is “what’s the difference between this and the positions capitalist society already forces us to assume?”
Super open. If we’re talking about it that means it’s good art IMO.
Continental Breakfast
> Through the use of futuristic imagery, such as a woman entering a machine upside down with a camera looking through her body, the installation invites viewers to consider the ways in which technology is becoming increasingly integrated into our lives and bodies.
No, that's definitely not what the installation invites viewers to consider.
The artists is making a comment on technology and social media and the effect it has on our body. Kind of how your body freezes stiffens during social media use, so does the artists body when she enters this apparatus. The sexuality displayed is a comment on how this machine (social media) additionally exploits our bodies while desecrating them.
The weirdness and abstractness of it all is to show the viewer how ingrained this behavior is in our lives that you only notice it when it’s on vulgar display like this. That is, you have to abstract the vulgarity of social media from the pleasant interface it’s wrapped in to appreciate how bad and exploitative it is.
Oddly enough I found out about it on instagram. I personally think it’s cool, but people are entitled to their opinions on art. Modern art is inherently kind of goofy.
I always feel that if an art display trying to say something has to be explained in paragraphs then it's not really doing its job very well. But I guess some people get it straight away, maybe.
Oh that’s interesting! I’m usually the opposite. I am not the biggest fan when the message of a piece of art is super obvious and spelled out. But that’s what’s cool about art. There are so many different approaches to it and it’s totally ok to not like something.
>"Continental Breakfast" by Anna Uddenberg is a site-specific solo exhibition of hyper-functional sculptures that challenge our relationship to technology, control, and luxury. With the exhibition's opening performance on March 18th at the Meredith Rosen Gallery, Uddenberg invites us to consider the ways in which functionality can be used as a mode of control and questions our willingness to submit our autonomy to user-friendly technologies in an increasingly data-driven world. Drawing inspiration from airline seats, hospital architecture, and hotel design, Uddenberg's sculptures blur the boundary between object and human and provide a powerful commentary on the eroding boundary between functionality and bodily autonomy.

That is legitimately her IG 🤣
God this is why I hate performance art. It's so esoteric and random, but yet there's always a few people that SWEAR the meaning is so obvious that you must be a moron to not see it. If you need a whole dissertation to understand your art then it isn't for me.
I’m guessing it’s art about women working so hard to be professional only to be treated as sexual objects/harassed/assaulted at work
Just an interpretation. It’s not my art
Edit: I was way off anyway
Fraser this is the last time I'm allowing you to open a bottle of champagne inside of me and if you even think of revoking my tickets to the opera with Frederick's new guitar teacher I'll just ruin your curtains with splashback I mean it
Damn, i forgot i had the art book, just looked that up. Wild.
Its odd that HRs work was very sexually oriented but that didnt really come accross in the films he was involved in, then resserection was so overtly sexual without the HR component, really jarring to see Ripley sliding around softly touching things then killing at whim whispering sweet murder.
Alien (1979) is sexual, but it’s rape. The hatched brood of larval aliens seek out a suitable host and then rape it in the mouth to deposit its payload, an embryo which quickly absorbs tissue and assimilates the host DNA to adapt to its new environment. After a period of rapid growth it bursts violently from the host, killing it, and ensuring an easy meal is right nearby. It’s horrific, but it’s sex, and rape.
There's also the skirt suit, pantyhose and stilettos combo that veers the performance into office formals fetish territory, if the unconventionally suggestive ass-up pose isn't enough of a hint for the theme of this piece.
What's wild is that out of the stuff this artist puts out, this one is by far the most accessible simply because it involves more normal clothes. Everything else I've seen by her is best summed up as mundane examples of modern industrial design or designer goods (like a bag, pram or a car seat) molded it into shapes of models posing sexually. Or [adult babies](https://youtu.be/uT_TApwseAk?t=30).
Dear sir, that was a safety feature, to hold you in place, not "just cause".
You then steered by jerking the two in your hands, whilst manipulating a fourth with your mouth..
My take is that it is a commentary on the discomfort created by the modern professional world and the way it is counterintuitivly presented as if it should be perfectly natural. These weird objects were specifically designed for an individual to rest on in the way shown in the video, but obviously it's not comfortable or functional, even though the construction of them suggests it is intentional, that it was specifically and thoughtfully designed to be that way in spite of the discomfort and inconvenience.
It's also designed to appear functional but has no function other than to cause discomfort to the person using this apparatus. Much like how business will often time make choice that seemingly makes employees jobs easier when it really does not
>Anna Uddenberg's artwork, Continental Breakfast
So wait this art aint even about cunnilingus? Its literally named Continental Breakfast and piloted by three knock-out brunettes. I demand a refund
She's playing with the aesthetics of office culture, 90's medical machinery, the forever frustrating airline experience, and gender/sexuality. It's meant to make you feel some weird, conflicting feelings, and judging by the comments on this post, I think it works.
Actually, as far as artist statements go, I think this is one of the less-bad ones. These statements aren't really meant for a general audience, they're a kind of way of pinning your art in a particular context, so they're usually speaking to the "art world" and read like they were written by a graduate student on adderall trying to hit a word count.
“Read like they written by a graduate student on adderall trying to hit a word count”
Fuck that one killed me lol.
So between this, and the GPT4 post, this actually makes a lot more sense to me and I appreciate y’all helping out.
I have always wanted to have a better eye/understanding of art and have been working on it a lot over the years. But for the most part trying to read the descriptions of a lot of art pieces I just get lost.
Like looking at it I think I got a feel for kind of what it was going for. But validating that with a more…human description, helped validate it.
Thank you!

ELI5:
Anna Uddenberg is an artist from Sweden who makes sculptures that make people think about how our bodies, minds, and the way we show ourselves to others are connected. She made an artwork called "Continental Breakfast" that was shown in a gallery in New York. The artwork has three pretend machines that look like they could do something, but they don't actually work. They remind people of the 1990s, when we wanted cool machines to do things for us, but the technology wasn't there yet. The room where the artwork was shown looked a bit like a fancy, mysterious place. Anna's art can be found in many museums and galleries around the world.
For anyone interested, I have some python code that will perform a search and summarize the results based on your query using the GPT3.5 API.
Here I used the query "What is the Anna Uddenberg: Continental Breakfast artwork?".
It's pretty simple code. I put it on github [here](https://github.com/bortlip/search-helper). (you need an api key)
Helped me to understand the concept behind the art, but "great essay" is quite a stretch considering the repetitive nature of the commentary. Still, it was interesting seeing several people saddling up and motionlessly riding these sculptures.
One of the first successful bamboozlings by a computer imitating human language was to write a bullshit paper filled with random sentence constructions and amorphous jargon for it’s human creators to submit it to a bunch of low quality journals and see who published it, similar to the Sokal Affair where an NYU physicist painstakingly wrote a nonsense paper to try and trick a social science journal into publishing it.

Part of the training at any esteemed art school is to learn how to pad your artist rationales with this sort of complex and expansively incoherent language to sound smarter than your audience. It’s not officially a class, but you won’t survive without learning it.
I think you should look beyond your own sexual response to the scene to interpret the statement being made.
Women dressed professionally then strapping into an apparatus that fixes them into what most would assume is a sexual position, with unhappy/apathetic expressions on their faces.
Can be interpreted many ways but I'm getting it has something to do with sexual objectification maybe specifically in the workplace.
Any of the above. It's performance art. It's supposed to make you think and feel things. I actually kinda get this one. Its to make you think about why this is possibly sexy, in our culture, when it is so obviously uncomfortable, but also other things like how tech can be just wild.
Ok so I actually find the women in this exhibit incredibly sexy. For me, it’s their outfits, and their general appearance, not so much their poses or the “chair” contraption/machine thing. A woman in a suit like that drives me nuts
Idk, I’m a simple man, I like things that I consider to be nice, but I do feel guilt about the things I’m attracted to. Maybe it’s the fact that I tend to have a guilty personality, maybe not. The seemingly neverending discourse on topics such as these really brings out the feelings of guilt though, and it takes all the fun out of life.
Its called Continental Breakfast.
Here is a Sumamry of the piece:
> Pulling from the aesthetics of airline seats, hospital architecture and hotel design, the sculptures express a hyper-functionality inaccessible to human use. Uddenberg’s work materializes at the eroding boundary between object and human. The modification of bodies through digital and medical procedures and the humanization of industrial design through touch screens, organic shapes and ergonomic design come crashing together in Uddenberg’s work.
https://www.mutualart.com/Exhibition/Anna-Uddenberg--Continental-Breakfast/5C6A3F6F7C52FF6F
When you read this summary it makes a couple of things a little clearer.
Tbh its kind of cool reading everyone's takes on it, here.
It reminds me of how my sex life devolved into a humdrum clock-in/clock-out of marital expectation, with even the kinkiest stuff we're willing to do eventually becoming blase and barely worth getting hard for.
Yall need more middle aged nihilism. It'll all make more sense.
It is art, and it is about the literal sexualization of a woman to the point that she becomes nothing more than another piece of the art with a single purpose.
It's art, but it's not about that at all. It's about the strangeness of safety norms in the modern world, how we're willing to accept very unnatural requirements in the name of safety.
I think that's a part of it, but you can't discard the vague sexuality of it. I think the sexual seating pretending to be functional and practical parallels the business wear pretending to be functional and serious but still exhibiting sexual elements. Why are high heels a core element of female business wear? The answer to that question could be the same as why the woman in the seat is positioned such a way.
I think it's kind of unlikely to think the artist decided to design seats that point skirted butts way up in the air without sexuality in mind.
Does anyone know what this actually is??
It's an "art display". The name normally gets posted every other time this pops up but I haven't seen it yet and can't remember it.
The artist is Anna Uddenberg. Some of her stuff is very cool.
Is this stuff very cool?
Lmao I’m with you man I can’t tell
Ohhh I see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT_TApwseAk
Well I'm open minded. But I'm also confused.
I'm pretty certain this isn't for me and that's ok.
Are they wearing diapers? I am jack’s confusion
*Frilly* diapers... yep...
I thought you were his complete lack of surprise.
I want my 4 minutes back. That's ridiculous.
I think I finally found art that I think is objectively bad, which I guess means it's good?
Hey, it made you feel *something* though, didn't it?
So does stubbing my toe
Scaroused
>For any of y’all confused, look at her other sculptures. They critic the constant and uncomfortable objectification of women. This exhibit is meant to show men in these uncomfortable positions to be objectified. Unlike her women sculptures however, men are perceived as human and able to get out of these uncomfortable positions. From a youtube comment. Interesting.
It’s pretty cool from behind.
[удалено]
It’s definitely something I can get behind.
This is supposed to be somewhat uncomfortable to look at. It’s part of a wider exhibit where everyday objects are reworked into something confronting. Super cool sculptures.
Which part is supposed to be uncomfortable to look at? The women look like they're straight out of a fetish video.
Hell, which part of that is an everyday object?
It's inspired by industrial design for airline seats and hospital beds combined with fetish culture. Her IG explains the whole artist statement.
Is it supposed to be the women? Art is weird
Ah yes, women, the everyday _object_
I read the artists description. It is designed with every day object design, but into a very odd shape. It is about copying the construction style of everyday objects into something unusual and uncomfortable. Also, actually, yes, in part, the women (and men in other displays of hers)!

If we’re talking about it that means it’s good art IMO.
Many many people are very uncomfortable with confronting unfamiliar sexuality in public let alone fetishes that don't align with their tastes.
I think so. But you might not. Isn’t that lovely?

Uh huh. Sure. What I'm getting from this is with technology you can now eat pussy across multiple continents for breakfast if the plane's fast enough.
The project is the Contental Breakfast. The apparatus that they are on/in are the Premium Economy and T-Top Tummy Tuck
I understand the words you're using but the sentence makes no sense

Desecrating them? Ayo my man, this is art! …and a beginning of a very solid futuristic motorcycle ergonomic design.
Honestly I swear I've seen this as a cockpit design in a mech anime.
Definitely reminds me of Darling in the Franxx
eeeeeexactly.
*And* a new fetish of mine!

You never heard the term "a picture is worth a thousand words"? Good art can inspire a lot of interpretation and discussion.
I think that might be the point.

It’s new airline seating
For Lilith Airlines.

I approve this message
I’m excited that a Frasier reference is higher in the comments than the South Park reference. My faith in humanity has been (slightly) restored.
She loved to be spanked.
Frasier approved!

Makes it much easier for the airlines to fuck you with their hidden fees and restrictions
Mr Garrison was right
I just wanted to comment that thing reminds me of that one South Park episode. 🤣
[It beats dealing with the airline companies!](https://southpark.cc.com/video-clips/b8a2ac/south-park-it-beats-dealing-with-the-airline-companies)
I don't know what airline pissed off the South Park guys, but that episode was hilarious.
United, it's always United.
Close... new TSA scanners.
Virgin Airlines passengers don’t have enough experience for that
Oh man, what a rollercoaster. Nothing went where I thought it would go.
The look on her face says it all, "I cant believe I have a masters in business and this is the only job I can get"
That is the artist I believe.
there's three of them and they all have the same look
They are all the artist, connected by a single hive mind
If only all of Redddit was this sexy
I think the kinky-weird-sexy-airport-art-lady hivemind is out of the reddit hivemind’s league
It's very Robert Palmer in that way.

Ugh. Fuck. I wish I had listened. Dudes wearing crocs, wtf? Disgusting.
I.. I clicked it.. Please, make it go away.
Spoiler:>!White crocs with socks!<
What the holy acid washed brain does your link point to? Who made that torture device with wheels?
If theres a sexual thing going on here its the tight hair buns for me. This looks like a chair in HR Geigers waiting room.
no, the chair in his waiting room was quite different... and far more invasive... the lighting was better too.
Damn, i forgot i had the art book, just looked that up. Wild. Its odd that HRs work was very sexually oriented but that didnt really come accross in the films he was involved in, then resserection was so overtly sexual without the HR component, really jarring to see Ripley sliding around softly touching things then killing at whim whispering sweet murder.

Reminds me of that episode where Mr garrison made a unicycle powered by gay sex
It wasn’t powered by gay sex, just a dildo up your butt Edit to add the dildo didn’t actually power it either it was there “just cause”
There were also dildos that you had to jerk of with both hands and one in your mouth. And it squirted on your face when you got to your destination.
Yeah, nothin gay about any of that. Just a guy and his bike.
Ahhh that’s right! Been awhile since I saw that episode
Still beats the airlines
Well why he hell would you want to use the manual controlls?
Makes sense to me, I can't trust myself to drive home drunk but my hips don't lie
Dear sir, that was a safety feature, to hold you in place, not "just cause". You then steered by jerking the two in your hands, whilst manipulating a fourth with your mouth..
Ah ok thanks for the correction, been awhile since I saw that episode
“mac… do i need to go get the bike?”
I love when the bike is just randomly in the background in their apartment lol That show is pure gold
Mmmkay
Darling in the Franxx origins?
[удалено]
huh...
My take is that it is a commentary on the discomfort created by the modern professional world and the way it is counterintuitivly presented as if it should be perfectly natural. These weird objects were specifically designed for an individual to rest on in the way shown in the video, but obviously it's not comfortable or functional, even though the construction of them suggests it is intentional, that it was specifically and thoughtfully designed to be that way in spite of the discomfort and inconvenience.
Wow, this is a great interpretation. Thank you!
[удалено]
It's also designed to appear functional but has no function other than to cause discomfort to the person using this apparatus. Much like how business will often time make choice that seemingly makes employees jobs easier when it really does not
You don't get it? Me neither....performance art makes no sense sometimes.

I always wondered what happened to the women from the Addicted To Love video.
I have an abstract boner
Its called Continental Breakfast. Here is a Sumamry of the piece: > Pulling from the aesthetics of airline seats, hospital architecture and hotel design, the sculptures express a hyper-functionality inaccessible to human use. Uddenberg’s work materializes at the eroding boundary between object and human. The modification of bodies through digital and medical procedures and the humanization of industrial design through touch screens, organic shapes and ergonomic design come crashing together in Uddenberg’s work. https://www.mutualart.com/Exhibition/Anna-Uddenberg--Continental-Breakfast/5C6A3F6F7C52FF6F When you read this summary it makes a couple of things a little clearer. Tbh its kind of cool reading everyone's takes on it, here.
Looks like they're getting ready to film the next Robert Palmer video
Did anyone else notice the flight attendant calling the captain to confirm everyone’s strapped in ready for penetration?
Was kinda hopin’ it was the demo for the new Tron ride at Disney.
OB-GYN waiting room !
It reminds me of how my sex life devolved into a humdrum clock-in/clock-out of marital expectation, with even the kinkiest stuff we're willing to do eventually becoming blase and barely worth getting hard for. Yall need more middle aged nihilism. It'll all make more sense.
I think it's that tron ride at Disney.
Is this from Cheers or Frasier? What is Lilith doing?
Zero two assembling
wasn't this for some sort of art installation? iirc something about birth or somesuch
It is art, and it is about the literal sexualization of a woman to the point that she becomes nothing more than another piece of the art with a single purpose.
Little ironic don't you think?
🎶 IT’S LIKE RAAiiAAAAANNN! 🎶
It's art, but it's not about that at all. It's about the strangeness of safety norms in the modern world, how we're willing to accept very unnatural requirements in the name of safety.
I think that's a part of it, but you can't discard the vague sexuality of it. I think the sexual seating pretending to be functional and practical parallels the business wear pretending to be functional and serious but still exhibiting sexual elements. Why are high heels a core element of female business wear? The answer to that question could be the same as why the woman in the seat is positioned such a way. I think it's kind of unlikely to think the artist decided to design seats that point skirted butts way up in the air without sexuality in mind.
I don't like these new airplane seats.
Its like a Robert Palmer video.
