This week, the folks at TAM have been receiving, uncrating, and installing the upcoming exhibition, "What's New, Pussycat." The show opens Saturday, January 22, 2011.
Audible, Tuesday midday:
*The whizz whirl of a cordless power drill, uncrating;
*The swish slurp of a paint roller, whitening temporary walls;
*The clang clatter of a metal tool, falling to hard floor;
*The scrape and drag and hop of a ladder, sliding and jumping rightward;
*The sloop riptt of tape being sliced open;
*The pafft of a cardboard box flopping to the floor;
*The kabash of a wooden crate being set down;
*The "I'll hold and you hammer,";
*The "That's how it's done";
*The hee-saw, hee-saw sanding of a small rectangle on the floor;
*The rrrr of a hydraulic lift of a delivery truck ramp;
*The zzzt of the same on a forklift;
*The clomp clomp of a power-walking museum staffer;
*The audible - sigh - of a museum boss;
*The pop! of a lone bubble wrap;
*The silence of 3,000 pounds of sand.
