New studio! Amidst the donut-mania, I had rented a new work space. It’s a converted old middle school in north Philly, lots of space to spread out here. They set up a hookup for running water for me so I can install a washout/slop sink, which will allow me to set up a printing table and start making more prints! Going to section off about half of the space for wood shop and half for printing and storage. There are heavy duty walls and studs for me to support making this giant wall mounted sculpture that has been in the works for the past several years. Very exciting times. Once the shop is set up it’s fabrication time on The Dentist Project.
Some detail shots of our final installation. Thanks again for everybody who helped put this together! Show runs until August 28th at Lot F Gallery
The Janky video for all of your Janky pleasures :) #janklife
Great turnout for the opening reception. Lot F gallery totally nailed it. They had real donuts for the opening so people were at least treated to the best of both worlds. Lots of B.B. gun competitions, lots of fun with the security cams too. Donuts will never be the same for us. #lotfgallery #jankydonuts
Install
Like every !ND!V!DUALS project, we always build until the moment before our show is scheduled to open. After weeks of non stop Janky every day in Philly, Emilia and I still needed a few all nighters to finish things up. Exhausted and sleep deprived, we hit the road at midnight the day of the opening and landed in Boston at 7 AM. Winston woke us up at 8 am with breakfast and coffee. We headed to the studio to create some final touches and packed the donuts and donut paraphernalia (and the apron) to the gallery. Everything came together at about 6 pm, one hour before opening. James and Kate from Lot F gallery couldn’t have been more awesome and understanding. We are all so excited with how the show came together. 8 years working with !ND!ES and it continues to inspire and motivate me. Hope y’all get as much enjoyment from it as we do. #janklife
