FORT GRUNT Aquarium








I have an upcoming project for an exibition opportunity in Durham, North Carolina with the people at Fort Grunt (www.fortgrunt.com). The project space is called "the aquarium" an alternative gallery venue. This space is a 24 hour viewable window run by Ben Fisher and Lou Joseph as part of their studio. According to their website... KunstOffice in Berlin, Germany provided the initial idea for being creative with thinking about exhibition spaces and their possibilities. For my proposal I requested photographs of what one would see 360 degrees in front of the window. Lou shot and sent a bunch. These two are sure to appear in the finished work. The space is a large 6'x10' window. Visit www.fgaquarium.com/ to see past projects and for submitting proposals. I am incorporating the photographs and mixed media painting to plaid-ify the full window. The finished piece will be titled "rescindia" and is going to be up March 2008.
