how it went, how to find us if you need us.

We're a few weeks out and the show was a success. A few reviews have popped up here and there. Check this one out:

We've been discussing the possibility of getting "multiples of five" on the road and are currently looking for venues that might be right for the group and the work. There has even been discussion about expanding the roster of artists. Things are evolving!

day 3

The final day of installation went well. Baltimore Clayworks moved into the space and everyone seems happy with how things turned out. Below are a few pics.

day 2

Day 2 was a major construction day. Our modular wall panels went up without a hitch, though in this humid Pennsylvania spring drywall mud seems to take especially long to dry. The real excitement came in the afternoon when we began considering additional lighting. Turns out these old industrial buildings rely on some very complex and dated electrical service. With 5 brand new bulbs blown and our expectations greatly altered, we finished the day around 830pm.
More to come!

...check out those toilets!

Frederick shared images of the final format for his project, titled "You Are Here".
Enjoy

Day 1, installation & etc.

Everyone is in town and we finally descended upon the space as a group for the first time. Tomorrow we will build the necessary walls and start installing art work. As you can see we already acquired all the necessary materials. For now we are sitting around preparing some PR materials.
If you are interested in an extremely limited-edition packet of exhibition cards complete with special stamped tag, you better come over to the opening on Thursday night. Get 'em while they're hot!!!!!!!
