THE ARTHOUSE BLOG

First, many thanks to Ben Slade for taking the reins on the blog for the past couple of weeks while Linda Ball and I explored Manhattan and Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Let me tell you, no gallery in Chelsea has anything on what Arthouse is going to offer!

It seems like the work crews are ramping up progress at an exponential rate and that late August deadline is looking totally within reach.

The south wall is getting closer to having its final skin, complete with all the lights.

I walked around into the back alley and took a shot of the north wall which is finished. You can visualize this finish on the south wall on Seventh, surrounding the glass blocks as they protrude from the surface.

This is the community room on the second floor, facing east towards Congress Avenue. The front as you see it here to the left will be all windows. The south side, on the right, will be partially covered by the Arthouse sign.

The tile work has been done in the second floor restrooms.

The bright circles you see at the top here are skylights which pipe brightness into one of the mezzanine studios.

This is a view from the mezzanine looking down onto the second floor gallery. On the left, you see the massive movable gallery wall which will eventually be hung from the ceiling.

Following up on the last shot, here you see the green steel support beams in the ceiling for the movable wall.

The entire rooftop screen area is shaping up. From this vantage point, you see the screen, the side walls and the rooftop. The openings for light sections in the decking are visible.

The skylight will illuminate the Ipe grand staircase below.
