337 redone, part 1

To commemorate the destruction of the building that was the 337 project, the Salt Lake Arts Center's current exhibit is a look back at the project and the artists. It is scheduled from now until late September. For info you can go to http://www.slartcenter.org/
It was great fun to get a second look at the art from the project and to see the new pieces inspired by it. There is a short film that you can watch and if you really want you can buy the DVD.
Some of the building was salvaged and reworked into the pieces. Like in the picture above all the containers were full of.....I want to say sawdust but it is courser than that but it's not really shavings, anyways full of wood pieces from the building. One of the paintings was simply the drywall from the building that the artist salvaged. So, go check it out.
