Acoustic Open Mic
The Center of the Universe has a natural proclivity for an interesting acoustic experience. Next Wednesday (October 15th) musicians are asked to gather at the Center of the Universe sculpture to explore the acoustic possibilities of the structure. Kira will be hosting the open mic with Rachel Shapiro. Other performers are welcome to attend and share their sound experience. If you want to secure a spot, please contact Kira: yourcenteroftheuniverse@gmal.com or 505.715.2460.
The actual time of performance is flexible. It should start around 4 pm and continue as long as people are hanging out and enjoying music.

Thank you stories!!
Thank you to everyone who contributed stories about the Center of the Universe! I will start work immediately to create a piece for performance. The date of the performance will be announced later this week. If there are still stories....you might be able to convince me to let you sneak it in....
Thank you!
Also, there will be pictures from the drawing on the Center of the Universe. These ideas will also be incorporated into the performance.

Drawing on the Center of the Universe
The next event will take place this friday, September 26th from 9am until approximately 6 pm.
The Center of the Universe will be coverec with butcher paper for all to share their memories and associations with the sculpture or simply a personal center of the universe. All materials will be provided. This event is for all ages. The question on the paper will ask "What is your center of the Universe?". Come by to share your experiences; they might be included in a performance later in the fall!

Lady Justice
On Thursday September 11th at 8 pm, the first event for Operation: Center of the Universe was underway. A slide show projection of Lady Justice in various poses lit up the north side of the Center of the Universe. Beneath the colorful show was a still image projected from old school projectors: two Lady Justices overlapping one another presented in a format which emulated the concrete on which they appeared.
Although rainy weather threatened all day, the skies were clear enough for the designated hour of projection. As classes let out and people walked and biked around the duck pond, many paused with curious expressions to find images on the Center of the Universe. There was no large crowd or bright signs. It was meant for people simply passing. Several cyclists paused to look at the sculpture from various angles.
Overall, I think it was very successful!
There will be more events coming up next week.
I would like to thank several people for their contributions to help set up this first event:
Elizabeth Dwyer, Photographer and Videographer
Morgan Fife, Model and event assistant
John Sandlin, Props Master
Michael Blaisdell, Technical Consultant and Event Supervisor
Courtney Bell, Projector Provider
Sylvia Padilla, Aubani Krob, and Laura Hosek, Event Assistants
Arvonn Tully, Technical Support
Richard Hess, Safety Equipment
