Hot Art!

The MLA1 ‘10 Redhook projects from last semester will be showcased at the BWAC gallery in Red Hook, Brooklyn July 26 – August 17 as a part of a larger “Hot! Red Hook Pier” exhibit!

We have yet to finish our full installment this week. Nevertheless, we did successfully manage to transport our “not-so-small” model upstairs to the gallery yesterday in the scorching sun. Thanks a ton to Kerry and Emma who worked as a team of two loading the truck and driving it all the way to Red Hook to meet up with Halina, Joe and I at the gallery. Much thanks also go to Ashley and Alexa…. and most of all to our friend Amy! I have no idea how she did it, but she single-handedly moved all the model pieces downstairs from CCAC.

Saturday help

Thanks for all the great feedbacks guys! I have posted few links on the sidebar that might be useful for us to check it out… and it is a growing list.

The first year students have been working on a model of Red Hook, Brooklyn (at 64 scale) since last week. We have already spent $900+ according to our materials committee! And still counting. Well, this model unlike anything we have done so far, does take up half the open spaces available in our studio. Some of us are already contemplating on how we might want to dispose it afterwards, considering we all want to do it in a most environmentally friendly way possible.

A collaborative job involving all of us, I am happy to say that we have managed to work together rather well. On Saturday, we are putting in the vacant lots by first tracing the shapes and then cutting out different materials to be collaged onto the surfaces. We need help (on Saturday), if anyone can. The other person that I have been working with is out of town till Monday.
