We hit the ground running from the very first moments of Martin’s residency. Skipping our typical meeting with the artist, Martin, his cold-worker, Alex, and our curatorial staff were installing some of Martin’s work in the alcove as you enter the Hot Shop. It’s a mockup of a proposal for an installation in our main reflecting pool. Todd Pottinger, the MOG video guru, shot this intro video with Martin during the installation process. Way to multi-task, Martin!

In the final installation, the alcove is painted black, and the steam forms really pop. You’ll see it right as you walk in the Hot Shop doors.
