Artspeak:
“The space is sublime. So is the artwork that sits within its cathedral-like exterior.”
Huffington Post:
“When I am up there, I have the distinct feeling that everyone around me is hard at work – making art, talking about art, making dinner, talking about making art while making dinner, etc – and their intention is genuine. ”
Yup, these were our lovely residents, once upon a time!
