Welcome Red76!

While we have almost exclusively letting the AOT Open Summer Residents run the show here on the old blog, I would like to take a moment to extend a happy welcome to some old friends, Red76. Specifically to Sam Gould and Mike Wolf, but to all the visitors of the collective that is presenting their Surplus Seminar and Anywhere/Anyplace Academy as part of the Walker Art Center's Open Field: Welcome! We are very excited to have you here for the next 3 weeks.

Ok, so I highly recommend to all artists, activists, educationists, and fun-having-ists to check out the action and activity on the Walker's lawn. There will be projects aplenty, resources abounty and, if tonight's festivities were any indication, cold beverages aflowing. Yummy. And we have any luck, our visitors will make it down to 35th street to check out some of the jams we have going on. Oops, I almost forgot, Sam will be a panelist at the next Recess event, August 2. A special Monday night discussion on alternative and new pedagogies. For real. In the meantime, feel free to give them a visit and let them know what they are missing at AOT.

Model/Remodel - July 26-31 - Collaborative Work

In the spirit of remembering for part of Model/Remodel, I want to make a custom measuring stick for the gallery based on your closest guess of the gallery's WIDTH. The stick may be too short, too long or just right. I don't know! I know the floor plan gives it away, so don't look at it and go off your senses. I'll put your name, your guess and the date of your guess on the stick and install it in the gallery.

Email me your guess: sekondsight@yahoo.com. I'll take guesses until this Thursday, July 22.

Thanks! Peter

Model/Remodel - July 26-31

Model/Remodel

July 26-July 31, 2010

Soon after buying a house, I discovered a fluorescent light tube in the rafters of my basement saved by a previous owner. Attached to the light tube with a rubber band, on notepad paper titled “God Loves Me,” was a handwritten note that read: “9/9/98… This tube removed from a discarded fixture. Should still be good.” The discovery of this object and the sentiment of the handwritten reminder form the background for the installation and slideshow of Model/Remodel. Part introspection and part survey, the installation explores ideas about ownership, saving, and remembering and includes collections of Polaroids and trophies. Join me in the gallery on Saturday, July 31 at 7pm for a presentation and slideshow. Make the evening special for you - BYOFB (bring your own favorite beverage).

Installation in the gallery will be on view beginning Monday, July 26. Stop by sometime on Sunday, July 25 during the install to say "Hey." A casual presentation and slideshow will be Saturday, July 31 at 7pm. Hope to see you there!
