March 8–April 21, 2013

Opening Reception: Friday, March 8, 6-9 pm

Despite the fact that some home workers were this week ordered back to the office, we will continue to perform our services remotely. The office will remain a virtual one, stretching between here and Copenhagen. Until this point, only JPGs had been sent and received, though now some corresponding physical approximation has arrived.
