finishing up studio

studio_floors.jpgWith the help of my intern Claire, the back part of my studio is finally cleaned up. We finished waxing the floors yesterday so it's now ready to be used. At the moment I'll probably just be using the walls to do some more audio drawing tests for the upcoming exhibition at Light Work, but eventually I hope to build a chromakey cyc wall in that area.

My intern, Claire, and I made a new chromakey wall in the studio last Friday. Eventually I'm hoping to build a full cyc set in the back part of the space, but this wall will do fine for a couple of the current pieces in the works.

We used a matte paint from Home Depot instead of the true chroma green and it's working great (at half the cost). I'm lighting it with fluorescents which are also working great. The glares are mainly due to the fact that the paint is still wet in the photo.

I'm finally getting around to testing out some multi-channel audio pieces designed to work as wall drawings. I use 6" raw speaker components and 16-gauge black speaker wire mounted straight onto the wall. I did a few of these in 2005-06 and have been dying to work on some more.
