Murals at Huger & Hanover St.

Mural at Huger & Hanover St., Charleston, SC  

It looks like I missed the event but the murals are still in place for everyone to enjoy. The location isn't in my prime walking route but easy to pull up in a vehicle to get a few shots. It is on the corner of Huger and Hanover St. 

The cornerstone of the installation is a new mural by Sergio Odeith, a well-known Portuguese painter and muralist based in Lisbon whose trademark 3D graffiti served as the initial piece for this installation. 

 

Awakening - 1600 Meeting St.

Patch Whisky, 1600 Meeting St., Charleston

Here are a couple shots of the Awakening art installations at 1600 Meeting St. today sponsored by Enough Pie.  One little snag - there was no airconditioning in the building and the heat and humidity had my camera lens so fogged up I had a hard time using my camera during the time I was there. Maybe it will impart a mysterious mood to my pictures. Heheh.

I was pleased to meet photographer Jared Bramlett who was showing photographs of many back-road scenes that looked familiar to me. Check out his site at: jaredbramlett.com

Green Tea at 1600 Meeting St.

Green tea - it's good for you!

More later but wanted to stop by to remind local folks of the one day art installations at 1600 Meeting St. It is another dreary, humid weekend but I knew it was a good sign when they had a gentleman out directing traffic. Check it out - art, murals, photography for one day only until the building is renovated and settled with creative tenants. It was a good chance to explore the space.The event is open until 6 p.m.

Enough Pie has announced the date for Awakening: a one- day art and performance event designed to breathe new life into 1600 Meeting and usher in an era of arts-driven community collaboration for the upper peninsula. The event is free and open to the public.
The rooms and hallways of 1600 Meeting, an 86-year-old vacant building on upper Meeting Street, will be open for creative reinterpretation during the 3-day window between cleanup and renovation. Awakening is a temporary and site-specific event, never to take place in 1600 Meeting again.
Awakening includes a wide range of art forms and mediums from over 20 participants, such as dance, sculpture, photography, interactive installations, textile art and more. A current list of participants will be maintained on the Enough Pie blog.

It is so humid I had trouble taking pictures through my fogged up lens.
