Building the Installation: Hanging the Fabric Curtain (1)

Cherrypicker1

We have been working in the gallery the last two days while we're waiting for the rest of the installation material to arrive. Murray is fearless about heights, so he's been manning the cherrypicker to install a wood frame along the ceiling. That back wall is where we'll be hanging a 25-foot long box-pleated fabric curtain, similar to the one from the video set (here). That's Jason, the gallery assistant, who has been a huge help to us this week (thanks!). 

Tomorrow, an 18-wheeler trailer full of lamps, lamp shades, hundreds of pounds of fabric, and painted wood will arrive on campus — where we've gotten permission for it to park on some tennis courts that are scheduled to be demolished.

LA Project: Set 3 (Office) Messing Up

We decided that the final set needed a floor–sort of a stage underneath it–and built the substructure (er, PA's Brendon and Brent built it), put legs on it and a plywood floor. Later we stood back looking at it and decided to nix the whole thing. The performers in this last scene are not actors. They will be real people doing as they please. The point is that they're not on a stage. My natural intuition is to do, it's taken me a long time to learn when the best answer is to not to do.
