DOE Projekts has been invited by Dilettante Studios (www.dilettantestudios.org) to participate in Expo Chicago, Navy Pier, Chicago, Sept 19 - 22. We will be part of a 20+ artist team.

With the help of Frank Verciglio and his assistant Joe, we revised our initial idea. Frank and Joe helped us re-build the art crate and two side crate-cabinets.

We then turned to our trusty family "DOE Projekts" team, and spent a great weekend together, painting the cabinet-crates, and creating a shelf to be positioned underneath the crate-cabinets.

DOE Projekts has been invited by Dilettante Studios (www.dilettantestudios.org) to participate in Expo Chicago, Navy Pier, Chicago, Sept 19 - 22. We will be part of a 20+ artist team.

We began by sketching ideas, then communicating with John Preus, founder/director, and lead artist.

We then obtained a used crate that formerly transported a large horizontal art work.

We will rebuild the crate with the help of Frank Verciglio.

Workbook: Bryant Park Land Mark — Public Interaction

Friends, acquaintances, and strangers dropped by -- and in -- the Bryant Park Land Mark.

We chatted with New Yorkers. We were approached by those from outside the USA.

One couple from the Netherlands gave us advice on where to create the next Land Mark — in Amsterdam.

Coreforms:  Canals, Rembrandt, Begijnhof, Artplein 't Spui
