The crates used for display at Reinventing the Wheel at The Logan are now available on a first-come first-serve basis! These crates were originally built and used for high end/museum art transport and are of very high quality construction/materials.

Some suggested uses:

-module display tables for architecture schools

-sculpture display for galleries

-materials for sculpture or panels/frames

-building materials for community project

We’re sure you can dream something up.

UPDATE: The crates have departed and are on the way to their next life!

From filmmaker extraordinaire Jeff Durkin of Breadtruck Films comes a rad mini-documentary of the Sanctuary143 Reinventing the Wheel show in Barrio Logan. This guy has developed a great eye and with his new camera dolly setup, he is a film-force to be reckoned with.

Thank you to the wonderful people at Riviera Magazine for the feature on Sanctuary143 and the Reinventing the Wheel show in the December arts issue!

The s143 Wheel-Lore continues — facts and folklore about the wheel to wet your appetite for the upcoming Reinventing the Wheel show.
#4: Wikipedia claims the invention of the wheel falls in the late Neolithic/New Stone Age (around 7,000 years ago), along with other technological advances that brought about the Bronze Age. Quite shocking: although paleo-anthropologists now date the emergence of anatomically modern humans to about 150,000 years ago, 143,000 of those years were “wheel-less”! 143,000…Coincidence? We think not.

For the upcoming Reinventing the Wheel show, Tijuana based artist Jorge Tellaeche works on “El Origen,” interpreting with modern designs the natural cycles of time. Like usual, we’re blown away!

That vintage pedicab that’s seen better days gets transformed for Reinventing the Wheel as Acamonchi adds on the next layer of paint and the first of many (we’re assuming) stencils. Thanks to Artist & Craftsman Supply for the awesome paint donation and Velo Culture for the loving repairs! (Check out more photos.)

After a generous donation from our friends down at Artist & Craftsman Supply in San Diego, Acamonchi was locked and loaded with 8 cans of Montana Gold and the blank canvas of a reclaimed pedicab waiting for its moment to become art for the upcoming Reinventing the Wheel show.

That moment has officially begun, as Acamonchi laid down the first few psychedelic layers of paint today.

Enjoy, fellow Sanctuarians!

We’re reinventing the wheel as we speak… Here’s a peek at Thatcher’s work in progress – BMX with sidecar. It’s an art form. More to come.
