Despite a few days storm delay, construction workers were in full swing this past week. Appears as though most of the interior demolition is almost done. Dozens of dumpsters filled. Occasionally lights are left on at night and peering into the empty classrooms all you see are empty shells.

At the new Ferry Street main entrance the exterior brick work has started. And while looking at the foundation work in the above pic for the new arts addition, seems like the crew here is pretty much in sync with the work around the corner at Artspace, especially comparing the foundation work for the new units in the rear at Artspace. From the beginning, back in February of '05 when both projects were becoming a reality, I've thought of Performing Arts and Artspace in the same breath, sister projects...feeding on one another as the City's near East side comes back to life.

See BAVPA Reconstruction Archive for additional details and updates.

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask
of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
