I left Vegas to build the Nice Never Lasts exhibition in Oakland over the next 2 months. It will be finished for Aug. While here I'm making paper in Sacramento and I'm still in search for an appropriate place to sculpt the Wear Recycle; Torn Apart sculptures.
I'm hoping the Nice Never Lasts posters will be exhibited outside. They're going to be huge. I would like them to be hung on this abandoned building across from Delmafilia in the Mission District in San Francisco. I'm working towards figuring out how to move forward on this. Ideally they will hang for 7 days, the exact duration of my performance. Here's the first poster design (to be recreated as an original artwork).

Rent while in Oakland
Transportation
Food
Supplies to make the posters... not sure the exact size yet, but they're going to be giant.

Merchandise for the show
Advertising
Two receptions in Oakland, open reception and closing reception
Two receptions in Las Vegas.

Travel for Brent to attend 1 reception in Oakland.
