Finally getting around to posting pix from First Friday. I hung out exclusively in the Fountain Square area, primarily the old Murphy Building, for
Chimaera's Attic. You can see Maryanne Nguyen's "Gold Chained Hearts vs. Pearls" on the left in the picture above. The long white object is actually a very intricate paper cutting by Jacqueline Picardo. The never ending construction (over a year now) was never ending. I was disappointed to see that part of the construction involved replacing the grungy, worse for wear side walks with spiffy new Mall of America/Tourista looking side walks. Ugh. That well worn-ness is the attraction of Fountain Square.
This is a view to the street from a second floor glassless window.
The Old Murphy Building is a smelly creaky affair.
Maryanne Nguyen has a cosy studio in the corner. I recognized her white collar worker animals from
her Etsy shop. That's also her work on the left in the first picture.
It's the juxtaposition of art and decrepit building that gives the Murphy Art Building its appeal. Painting above by
Stacy Novak.
I really liked this guy's hoody. I couldn't tell you what he looked like from the front. He may have had a third eye for all I know. My eyes kept going to the back of this jacket. The picture does not do it justice. It's a vibrant pink silk screen with a lot of detail on a cool black hoody.
These guys had pretty much setup camp in the corner.
Trying to capture the griminess that makes the Murphy Building rock.
