site specificity redux
July 31, 2008
Disembody just became a little more wonderfully Angeleno.
The other day I put ads on craigslist advertising that we have 4″ pink foam to sell cheap.
Today Santiago dropped by the Morgellon to buy two pieces. He is modding his car, and is using the foam to carve out the parts he wants. He then will cast them for molds and make the exterior parts himself.
How cool is that? Materials from the Morgellon are going to become part of L.A.’s custom car culture!
While downstairs getting the 4″ foam, Santiago spotted all the leftover 1″ foam panels from the ceiling, and asked what we wanted for those. He thinks they will be perfect for making interior parts for his cars. We were going to throw those pieces of foam out, so I just gave them to him.
So he loaded up his car with pink foam, which will become a part of the glamorous streets of Los Angeles!
I am so happy! Yesterday we get asked if we’ll rent the theater out for a film series, today we contribute materials to the cult of the automobile!
Disembody as a love letter to Los Angeles continues.
