Erector Square: Intro
Oct. 15, 2006.

Duty—parental duty in the form of Parent's Weekend at Boston University—called on Friday and Saturday. I missed the Open Studios opening, which is always a delightful zoo, and didn't have Saturday to traipse through Erector Square studios. So all I had was Sunday. And one day is not enough to see everything and everyone at Erector Square.

I started at Building 1 and made my way from there, trying to spend some time talking with artists about their process. Needless to say, I wasn't able to make it much past Building 2 when time ran out.

My interest wasn't in reviewing the work I saw. Open Studios is great for meeting people, talking about why they choose the subjects they choose and how they create their work. Over the next couple of days, I plan to post short pieces culled from my conversations.
