FSM at art show

For my senior art show at South Dakota State University, I set up an installation for the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It consisted of 8 intaglio prints and my giant FSM sculpture. I have attached a few of the photos from the show, which took place in 2006. The FSM is a soft sculpture, made from fabric, stuffing, and some wires. There were many people in attendance who had their photos taken underneath, touching the noodley appendages.

    The question of who creates whom has to be aprenhended in a bijective way. FSM created The World as We Know (after drinking heavily), but Klaire Pearson has reflected back the art of Creation (more soberly, we hope).

    Totally awesome, Klaire. You truly have been Touched by His Noodly Appendage.

    What a cosmic depiction of his noodly magnificence. I particularly like the fact that you have broken away from conventional portrayals which tend to show only two meatballs, as I am convinced that his meatballs, like his noodly appendages, are uncountable, and indeed possibly infinite in number (although that creates problems with the explanation for gravity offered in the gospels).

    There appear to be other objects clustered around the meatballs – are these perhaps olives and tomatoes?

    Wow! I can just see him in monumental dimensions suspended in the vast entrance hall of the Tate Modern (London) more or less where Louise Bourgeise’s giant spider was… did you see it Klaire? Those meatballs are very mysterious… Could they be Zeus-like thunder-balls?
    (BTW I dig your snazzy oriental-style dress)

    The three kings in the middle picture seem to be in awe – overwhelmed by the noodly appendages. Well, the middle guy doesn’t seem to be taking it all that seriously. This is a magnificent idol. South Dakota State University is truly blessed to have it. RAmen. Arg.

    I love that Klaire Pearson’s depiction captures the skeptical wonder with which I image FSM peers down on the world of his making. Such devotion and constructive use of one’s time is worthy of the honorarium “Pirate Captain.” All those in favor say “aye, aye captain.” After which she says “I, I captain indeed…” to accept the rank. Thus and yeah verily, I emphatically say Aye, Aye Captain. I salute you!
    Still in awe,
    SP

    This needs to be a part of a holiday display somewhere. Hope you’ve carted it to your local city hall or state house lobby, where it can be enjoyed by even more people.

    Do you have more pictures of Klaire?

    Does she have a web page?

    Thank you for the kind comments about my artwork! It took me a semester to make the sculpture, and my professors were delighted! The meatballs took a long time because I had to make patterns for the spheres, sew them, stuff them, and sew them together to achieve the meatball look. The noodles were also time-consuming, and they are all 10’ long! At the time I made this, I was also a secretary for the Geographic Information Science Center of Excellence, and I had many scientists visit my art show.

    Hello, this is a message for Klaire Pearson : I love your work !
    You might be interrested and inspired to know that I added big tits on the spagetti monster balls as I founded the “Belgian- French Pastafari dissendent FEMINIST branch”…
    a female concept to be extended to the heaven dreams and pirats team I suppose…
    I would be glad to receive more info on what has been yet invented !
    Take care,
    Helene

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
