Matt Bua arrived yesterday in a snowstorm and in just 24 hours he’s made enormous progress toward his upcoming installation in Kidspace which opens with a Family Celebration on Saturday, March 21.

He’s creating his installation from hundreds of pieces of detritus — the flotsam and jetsam of life that he has found on city streets.

Here’s a peek inside one of the still-to-be-unpacked crates he brought.

Some of the things he’s already unpacked are batteries,

wire and newspaper,

a celebrity diorama,

a record player,

precious tongue depressor clothespin sculptures,

guitars,

and more guitars.

We’re not really sure what some of his treasures are

but he has a plan

and he’s here hard at work.

We look forward to seeing you at the NEW Kidspace on March 21 from 11 AM – 5 PM.
