Sol Lewitt Pop-up Room

Ok, here is the short hand -

Me + Syndey = Art Gallery. This happened on the weekend.

Sol LeWitt + conceptual artist = Kids activity in said Art Gallery.

Because the very few instructions that allowed for variables created vast differences in design. Basically this dude really dug on showing the difference between different peoples working methods. Aaaaaanyways, having a watered down version of such an experiment happens to be a fine way to entertain lads and lasses on a weekend while their parents observe the art. Enter Toothy.

I signed the bottom for good measure and left a pen and a few pencils on the desk cause I'm just nice like that. Not sure what happened to the box and in many respects I don't care. I figure it had some effect because there was sort of a small group of kids whatching me work. Not sure why.
