Here’s a snapshot of the work in progress just before the opening.
Franck Bragigand is transforming the inside of the Rhode Island / Roode Eylandt house (where the Open Talks will take place)
and everyone else is painting used chairs brought in from all over New York outside.
On the porch of Coney Island / Conyne Eylandt: preparations by Painted in collaboration with Pascale Gatzen and IDC fashion students of Parsons The New School for Design in New York, Native American bead masters Joyce, Juanita and Jessica Growing Thunder, and local lace makers… the list is long! Passer-bys also are joining in.
Jos from 2012Architects in front of the Flushing / Vlissingen house. Writing his blog entry, I hope.
When we say new collaborations, we mean children too! Here they are painting chairs for the Go Slow Café at Bloomingdale / Bloemendaal. Thank you moms and dads!
Over Here / Over There signs by Experimental Jetset just before being staked into the Greenwhich / Greenwijck lawn.
Sure seems leisurely. Not the typical atmosphere just before an opening.
And, the view.
