Me as a volunteer...

[deftonekid]

Well I had the chance to be a volunteer on a museum here in Mexico making a piece called Zobop by Jim Lambie. It is all made by colourful vynils. My knees and back were sored by days but I think it was worth it. Here some pics from my cellphone camera.








For more info google Jim Lambie so you can see more pics from this piece on different countries.

Discuss.

[deftonekid]

Thx girls. You should watch it live it's so crazy. I was thinking to get stoned and then go to the museum and watch it, it must be interesting...

[lostpilot]

[whodunit?]

this shit is cool, man.

[Jacob]

that's pretty damn cool.

[deftonekid]

yeah it's amazing how some vynils can make look pretty cool a random space

Very cool man.  How did you go about doing this?

The only thing like this I have ever done was decorative concrete.  I did the youth room in my church for free.  I just locked myself in the room for 3 days and did it.  It fucking sucked, but turned out really good.  I did a dark blue as the base with more of a sea blue on top and just a touch of barely noticeable khaki with a really high gloss epoxy finish.  It was really cool.  Felt like you were walking on water.  Then the ungrateful shits didnt put felt on the bottom of their chairs like I told them and they started to scuff and chip it up after a while.

well I didn't do it all by myself, there were almost other 35 volunteers working 4 hours per day for almost 2 weeks. By the end of the Opening Day it was all messy and with a lot of foot steps marks, but I think it was part of the piece (let ppl fuck it all up...kinda sad yeah). Also it was something like to fill a space with filling it, kinda strange art perspective. But it was cool to be part of this even knowing that in a few months all the work done will go to the trash, but I think must of the contemporary art is like that.

It sounds great what you did on that church bro, too bad they didn't take care of it. It happens more often that you think tho haha.

No, I didn't but I watched the news, Pacquiao really kicked De La Hoya's ass. Manny is a hell of a fighter for sure.
