I'm spending the summer working as an administrative intern/ educational coordinator/ documentarian/ tech guy at Elsewhere Artist's Collaborative, a living museum and artist's residency program in Greensboro, North Carolina. It's an amazing place, one giant constant game of dress-up and play-acting.
Some highlights include:
CITY: A performance game in which the museum turns into a self-contained city with its own currency, immigration, politics, and so much more. For my first city I built a submarine to conduct naval defense of the city sewers against the menace of squid (visitors could pay a button to turn into a squid, or 4 to try and catch the squid in my submarine).
Playing dress up to serenade a birthday boy at Table 16, a great restaurant next door.
Running a chance procedure drawing game for our first friday event in August.
Collabo mural painting with Camillo and Isaac as part of Isaac and Hannah Nichols' "Gift Shop" installation.
Painting the floor.
Realizing we have rollers and painting the floor much more quickly.
The opening of the gift shop (I bought a hand sewn pillowcase with Isaac's name on it).
