Marking 86 Spaces
- in the rain -
How many artists does it take to mark a 10x10" space???
The Mark-up Team
Above are the heroic artists who showed up in the pouuuuuring rain at 9 a.m. Thanks to Dwain Ray, Jan Genosi, Tate Nation, Elaine Berlin, Vicki Ellis, Don Ellis, Alan Genosi, Ron Rocz, Scott Penegar, Scott Henderson (not pictured) and the photographer/blogger, Amelia Whaley (me)! We split into 2 teams and went to work, marking each space by spray painting the corners of the space neon orange. Using paint and color helps the artist to relate to their particular space. It is difficult, if you have the honor of spraying the paint, not to get orange neon paint all over your clothes. How do I know this?
The Contraptions
The brainstorm of genius Don Ellis (husband to Co-cordinator, Vicki Ellis).
Made from the finest grade of PVC pipe. When the corners come apart,
we re-adhere, using the finest duct tape to get us to the next space.
Marking the Space
As you can see below, this is an extremely difficult tool to master. Well, for Team 2, anyway...
Enthusiasm leads to Climbing a Tree.
(This type of behavior sometimes occurs during the show)
Scott Penegar just couldn't hold back - We find that being in Marion Square, among the trees, occasionally evokes suppressed memories of jungle life and manifests long forgotten primate tendencies. After years of participating in a 16-day outdoor art show, we artists are not surprised.
