Greetings one and all ~ I've been working on a 30 ft. bamboo airliner sound/sculpture to be installed in the Lab (SF Gallery) in May. See: http://www.infoflow.com/larnie/airliner/ I do have the sound components together, and I'm going to sound them off at CELL this weekend, under the auspices of Qbox. I hope those of you in San Francisco can make it. I will need plenty of help installing this work in early May. Email me if you want to help. I will also be looking for good homes for large sculptures in June. Let me know about that, too, if you're interested. =+= Larnie + + + + + + + + http://www.infoflow.com/larnie + + + + + + + + "Counterclockwise to loosen."

QBOX supports the creation, presentation, discussion and preservation of mechanical, kinetic and electronic art in the Bay Area. We provide emerging and established artists with a much-needed local forum for their ideas and their art. Our programs help subsidize the creation of local art by sharing a substantial portion of our proceeds with the artists whose work we present. We create an artistic environment that encourages cross-cultural, cross-generational, collaborative interaction between art organizations, artists and audience members alike.
