meanwhile right around the corner:


-scopeHamptons at Hampton Hall. MUCH smaller fair than in Miami or NY but super refreshing for this area.
Got to see many of the peeps I met in Miami including Paul Middendorf, Mary Mattingly, Bethany Bristow, Orly, Michael Sellinger and his gf Sondra, 'LaLa Pantzeroff' etc. Vitamin V arrived with a new friend who happened to be a really old friend of Michael's...and all the degrees of separations minimized. Yummy margarita and lots of art and reconnecting- makes this lil bunny a happy one. ONly bummer was just not enough time since we got there so late unfortunately (all day at containers and then packing them up and running home for a shower). They closed down the place and we hung around outside for a while.

Oh that looks so very pleasant. I jsut can't be persuaded to go to any openings here. Everyone already knows everyone in the art community and I'm not in it so it's a solitary bummer. PS boy I'd like to see full pics of your outfit! it looks NEAT!

Maybe we can figure out somethin for next year if it all happens again...you can set up a temporary paintedmonkeybooth tattoo shop or something.;)
Dang I wish you lived closer. But we've been down this road before haven't we...;)

hahaha it's going to be a well worn road, no? Actually sometimes tattoo artists, once they've got a big, full portfolio, tour from shop to shop and we could time it out so I could visit and have a booth for that too! :) GOOD thinkin!

i wonder, could the shipping containers (previous) have doors cut into them on the walls, floors, ceilings. stack them and create an ever-changing 3-D maze of art. compleat with ladders and windows. could you imagine sitting in your booth as people stumble upon your box, popping up from the floor like gophers (WHACK-A-MOLE!)...

what next? a break? more shows? i desire email. d;oP

well the thing with these shipping containers is that they're rented...so you basically cannot alter them in any permanent way. No drilling or puncturing of any kind.
But I Love your idea- if they could be stacked in a more labyrinthian way...with walkways and ladders perhaps! Big engineering project but it would certainly be amazing to experience.
The way they were used for the Nomadic Museum (http://www.nyc-architecture.com/CHE/CHE-037.htm) was interesting...but basically only stacked to create the exoskeleton/walls of a more vast accumulated interior space. It would be a wonderful experience if more tunnel maze-like to house multiple mini-exhibits. hehe get to work you.;)

hmmm perhaps you could proto-build on SecondLife to see how it could work.
This is SO secondlife-ish it's silly.
Create one simple shipping container shape (hollow rectangular blocks), then multiply and move and attach however you want.
I'm waitinnnnnnng.....;)it's you, y'know who builds these dome-worlds and labyrinth things on SL. such a staller of the inevitable.
