56 holes drilled ! The Ninth Floor & Paparazzi !

With military precision, 56 holes were drilled and as many photographs installed ! 

Opening tomorrow from 2 PM onwards !

Change-over time !

The Drawings Expanded show ended on Sunday - everyone seems quite pleased with the interest, the huge attendance and finally the results.  

Interestingly, several visitors returned for a second look - the article in H Art Magazine reviewing the show also made some out-of-town visitors head our way !  En passant, Boris Thiebaut heard informally that he will be Artist In Residence at Wiels this year !

Tomorrow is built-up day for 'The Ninth Floor' - a total mood swing - subdued and quiet. The spotlights turned down and the curtain, literally, closed to create an atmosphere resembling the 'fragile' mood in the ninth floor apartment in NYC.  A DVD will run on a flat screen and re-tell the story - images complement the photo series.

However, one area of the gallery will be brightly lit - a nod towards the artificial world of Paparazzi!

The opening reception is this Saturday from 2 through somewhere around 7 PM.
