nomadic canopies in 'evolving practice'

This time, like all other times, is a very good one, if we know what to do with it."
Ralph Waldo Emerson


four recently un-attic'd canopies & two shiny new boards are on display in the mccormick gallery (320 newbury st.) in the exhibit 'evolving practice,' opening wednesday, feb 04 at 6pm. more info here

free & open to the public during normal hours, and a 75% chance that there's a giant bucket of candy and a friendly face named 'bob' at the front door, welcoming you in!

Weather effects

Up until this point, the weather has been sunny and dry. The storm on the way actually highlighted the dynamic qualities of the canopies' material and structure. In the rain today, the fabric is holding up quite well, and the blast of color on a gray day really stands out!

CANOPIES up until Monday 9/14

090809 night install

installed this past Tuesday night, team A canopies will be featured on the exterior of the 320 newbury and 955 boylston for one week-- just in time for the beginning of fall semester.

check it out if you're in the back bay this weekend--make sure to see all four!

webby test run

on saturday, fat webby (aka big pun aka notorious w.e.b.) made his formal debut with an entourage of 3 lil dubs around the bac building. while there remain a few minor cosmetic touch ups before the full unveiling, the a-team proudly presents the culmination of our (spring) semester's research!
