Box at The Front

The Front has expanded into a new space at 13 Main Street, Montpelier VT, open during gallery hours (Fridays 5-8 PM, Saturdays 11 AM -8 PM) through Halloween. The first opening of this space was yesterday, October 3, during Montpelier Arts Fest, but you'll have a chance to check it out through the end of the month. Enter through the 6 Barre Street entrance.

Here's an overview of the exhibit. My piece is a box on a stand at the back, with a mobile of bones hanging over it. These are not great photos, taken with my phone, but at least you get the idea...

The text on the front of the box says

YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE

NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE

The top of the box has objects that reference efforts to extend human life through various means, ranging from "prayer" through "early pharmacology,"  described on small labels next to each technology.The inside of the box has a herd of wooden animals running through it.

The mobile hangs 36" above the top of the box.
