Tuesday May 13th.
It was a magical birthday. I received a wonderful digital camera as a girt, and began by documenting the current state of affairs at "4th & Jackson". Currently, the space looks like more like a living space then a gallery. Now that the "PhotoSkin" event is taking place on May 31st, I have 2.5 weeks to reinvent "4th & Jackson" from a sparse apartment into a first class gallery.
Along the bottom of the glass closet, you can see paintings by Wynton Stevenson and SCET.
Along the front of the space, are two large windows facing the NYC skyline. those two windows are flanked by trees, plants and flowers. That same back wall has to be converted into a performance space on the night of may 31st for Caridad Rivera's "Living a Painting" performance.
There are upcoming rehearsals for "Living a Painting". All the lighting and music need to coincide perfectly. It's all about timing.
All walls still need a good whack of Spackle, and a repaint. The main gallery room needs more attention because the base coat is popping through in some parts.
The orange room is possibly the closest to being completed. Right now my goal is to hang fabric over the computer area so no visitors see the mess. I am also completely baffled by the couch. What am I going to do with this ugly couch? It has very much outlived it purpose. The foam is trying to escape through the side. There si some debatre whether it will be thrown out before May 31st (if it goes, there will be no where to sit.)
