Five-Oh-Four-Oh, named for the room it was situated in, was a mixed media exhibition that combined social sculpture, music, performance, an active studio, documentation, video, functional furniture design, and live radio broadcasting. The space morphed throughout the week, being rearranged, littered, sometimes populated and sometimes unpopulated, sometimes loud and sometimes quiet – each state as important as any other.

It was ambitious. It was social, it was stressful, it was noisy, it was silly. It made me ill. It made me laugh + cry. It was great fun.
