The surface of the softball was then systematically divided into about 494 small numbered triangles using pencil and colored pens. The triangles progressively change in size across the surface of the softball. Each triangle was then photographed so that it approximately filled the frame of the camera. These 494 photographs were then printed as standard 4x6 snapshots. Amanda Eicher Site specifc "corner work," made from drywall. The drywall shell would roughly take the form of a Rwandan king’s house, a conical hut often used for entertaining. Andy Vogt Vogt will build a large lath (think plaster and lath) sculpture. the lath comes from old houses and apartments in the city that are being renovated; based in geometry and perspective. Hisham will create a site specific wall mural. Chris Duncan will present a monolith (roughly 9ftx4ftx2ft) work made out of paint and string scraps.
