Last week we went to Wilmington, DE for the opening of
municipalWORKSHOP’s recent project: Market Box. They created an amazing sculpture/bus shelter for the city of Wilmington. The structure is created entirely out of wood using old-school joinery techniques.
Richard Saxton and the mW team (David Wyrick and Kris Rusch) spent the summer in Delaware working with the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts and apprentices in the Challenge Program.
Everyone was happy with the project, and we had beer and good food to go with the art which is a great mW tradition.
The show at the DCCA includes examples of the joinery techniques used in the construction along with wall panels designed by yours truly featuring photo documentation of the project and collages and drawings explaining the design process.

Sherry's monoprints yo!!
This is Sherry, representing the female (and obviously more awesome) side of this site on first friday. The best thing about first friday is the end of the night after your show is over. That’s when you can eat dark chocolate m&m’s, and salty snacks and wash it down with some great boxed wine, which all the galleries have to lure you in! And then you can plot your next show. I like getting excited about new artists and ideas and joining in on a conversation of intoxicated artists talking about our next (slightly hostel) gallery takeover. We’ll keep you posted. p.s. the girls hold it all together!
Had a few beers at the Parlor, now it’s time to hit up a few galleries.
