Reflections on architecture
Pop Up 2 / Campo Ruga
September 6th, 2012We identified Campo Ruga as our first location partly due to its close proximity to the Studio Hub. There was plenty of space in the Square and it wasn’t too busy. It was however, surrounded on all four sides by dwellings.
It took around 20mins to put up and after taking the residents a little (well, a lot) by surprise we quickly realised that an Italian Translator would have been handy. After a moment of slight panic it was up and when it became known the gallery was only there for a short period, the locals quickly came round.We made this assumption when the local barman handed us three free pints and we of course promised to email him some pictures of his pub – oh and there were a few “bellissima’s” mixed in there too, which made the whole thing worthwhile. See a time-lapse video of this install here (not sure if the kick at the end was intentional!)
