Give and Take update

David took some great photos at the 'Give and Take' opening reception on Friday; I have just posted them on my website here.

Below are some photos of recent items which have come and gone.  On Saturday morning we received a (nearly new) coffee grinder, with the explanation "I don't drink coffee anymore."  This was exchanged for a (new) tube of toothpaste.  "I could use this!," she said.

The tube of toothpaste had come on Thursday from a young man and his girlfriend who were passing by and took a keen interest in a clunky purple toy camera which had a missing cable - they thought they could find a cable to fit.

In related news, this interview about the KIOSK aired today on Monocle 24 - listen at 0:40:40!

Give and Take - July 16 to August 11

The first day of the 'Give and Take' installation at the Burnaby Art Gallery Offsite Project KIOSK went very well.

The inaugural exchange was with a fellow named Bob, who gave the double cd Don Williams GOLD and took the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez in return.

Come check out the installation and 'give an item, take an item'!  The kiosk is located in front of Bob Prittie Library Metrotown, Burnaby (map on flyer below).  It will be open most days between now and August 11.

Exhibit launch event will be on
FRIDAY JULY 26, 6-8pm.

1015 Maple renovation update

The renovation of our residency fieldhouse at Hadden Park is taking longer than expected... but it'll be great once finished!  The first two photos below were taken on February 2nd: old floor gone, some walls stripped back.  The third is from just the other day: new floor in, new walls, and surfaces freshly painted.  The five of us are very excited about moving in - crossings all fingers and toes that it will happen soon.  I have been busy planning for upcoming projects - can't wait!  Note these photos are taken through the window as door locks have been changed during the reno too.

preliminary sketches

Preliminary sketches for a kiosk project that will be happening at the Burnaby Art Gallery (off-site) this summer: six artists, six programs, six locations, one kiosk.

old ideas new ideas

This morning I tried to find the hard copy of a paper I'd written during my first year of Architecture School.  Instead, this particular page fell out of one of my binders.  It's a bunch of random ideas taped onto a plastic sheet in summer 2005.  Post-Katrina, Bush-Era angst (and hope).

pre reno!

Yesterday David and I documented the pre-reno fieldhouse with some photos.  David took some test shots first with his digital camera (shown here) and then we chose four shots for the 4x5 camera. Can't wait to see the prints!
