Exhibit 3 Opening Reception

Welcome to the opening reception for Project Space II's Exhibit 3, with BinLabs, Michael Boonstra, Kay Worthington, Bonnie Hull, and Cynthia Herron. Studio artists are still working in the space, and there is again much more to see!

The dance performance at the opening reception (also First Wednesday) by DanceAbility included cello, as seen by the first picture and the one below.

Our main show -

Artists Sean Regan, Rachel Hibbard and Cara Tomlinson collaborate to create a video and sculptural installation inside SAA's Project Space II. Banking on Project Space II’s location, a former bank in the Capitol Center Building in Salem, the exhibit examines our relationship to objects, posing questions about labor and the idea of added value. Guests are invited to bring an object to “deposit” with the artists during the first week of the exhibit, and are able to “withdraw” this object at the end of the exhibit with value added.

Here we can see deposit slips. Lots of folks deposited an object at the opening, as well as for days after.

Rachel looking over some of the deposits. There are already many interesting returns, I invite you to come down and look. I'll try to post some as well.

Michael Boonstra's exhibit below. There was a lot of interest in how this works.
