July 15, 2008

I've almost been at Elsewhere a week now and I think I'm finally getting the hang of living in such a crazy place.  The past few days have been fairly relaxed since the museum is closed to the public Sunday through Tuesday.  I've spent most of my time helping an artist who is doing an installation in "The Wardrobe," essentially a huge room filled with old clothing.  It was kind of a mess before he began, so we've mostly been cleaning it all out sorting it by size and color.  Ultimately, I'll be helping him construct some sort of sculpture using the clothes and shoes in the space.  Tomorrow the museum opens back up and I'll be training to be a docent so I can lead tours.  Then, on Friday I'll be helping to host on of the weekly artist talks.  I suppose that's all for now, but I'll leave you with some pictures, though I don't think they'll ever be able to really give the full picture of this incredible space...

ps--I also fiiinalllly got around to posting a new and improved version of the Peep Show Video today, if you're interested.
