‘Pretend Behavior,’ part 3 [of 4] of our Spacial Reconstruction series, opened earlier today. Morrisa Maltz has created an interactive set of spaces that feature gobs of video and color, fabric and clothes - a space which invites you to sit. It’s open through Sunday night at midnight. Please check in with us.

Sarah Dougherty, along with her brother Dave, friend Susie Simpson, and boyfriend Josh [Pinche Gringo] all became denizens of the gallery space starting two Sundays ago. This past Saturday, we saw the results of several months of preparation and thought around her memories and experiences in Mexico City.

We all had different ideas or speculation as to what would happen, who would visit, how they would approach and use the space, and how the installation would become reshuffled, little by little during the 36 hours of this last weekend. No one really tried to enter the gallery space very late [after 2am], at least to our knowledge. There were steady streams of people coming in, never fully crowding the gallery, resulting in a more relaxed atmosphere for the most part.
