British designer Michael Cross is still in the building installing his American debut Resting Places Living Things: Designs by Michael Cross.
The floor is finally finished and it sounds like it was quite a feat to get the wood to curve and bend exactly the way he wanted it but that is part of the experimental nature of Michael's work.
Today he is installing Flood which requires unraveling a bunch of colorful wires so that they can be "re-raveled" into the glass containers. The containers will be placed on a table and all the wires will be connected underneath the floor. On the other end, the wires are connected to light bulbs. The catch is when the glass jars are filled with water. One of the preparators told me he had no idea how it worked without electrocuting everyone. I'll have to look into that.
You can find out more about how Michael works at his lecture Resting, Living, Making, Being: Michael Cross and Contemporary Design at 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 17.
