Extreme Art Archiving

And the large-format scanner is only 42" wide... #archiveproblems #woodblockprint #measure #42

Albert Paley Deconstructed. The remains of a name stamp after it was removed from the base of a 3-d print model. #letters #design

We are pulling out some drawings from the archive to be framed for upcoming exhibitions. Here is a close up of AO 1983.03.01 Orlando Canopy Drawing from 1983. It is the 2-d version of a forged stairway canopy in the lobby of the @hyattregencygrandcypress #drawing

Detail of a Nebuli Candleholder that was given a custom paint finish for a client. #steel #decorativearts #albertpaley

It's always fun when the older work comes back for a visit. Detail of Double Twist, 1991, 11' 11.5" tall x1'9"w x 1'1"d. Formed and fabricated mild steel with a natural patina. #twist #steel

Today's schedule consists of two design proposals, fabrication of a 75' long sculptural screen, ongoing glass and steel works, but first the administrative work needs to be dealt with. Albert reviewing and editing print materials. #roc #books #hp5550 #forgedgate #ritcoffeemug #noicecreamuntilafterdinner

Getting ready for @templeuniv and @corningmuseum lectures today. It's not flames Sparks and hammers all the time around Paley Studios. Albert gives 15-20 lectures a year and for each one he selects a set of images to match the topics and ideas he wants to talk about. There is no advance writing or notes, his lectures are all from memory and in response to the images selected. Side note - Albert's coffee mug is from the Wortham Center opening and pictured behind him on the wall is a shot of Procession installed at the @worthamcenter #lecture #albertpaley #coffee #marylightbodymug

Happy Pi Day! We were going to share a picture of pie but we ate it and have nothing to show for it. So instead, a picture of the hard work on the floor this week (when we weren't eating pie!). Dave is finishing up some repairs on Languorous Repose to be ready for upcoming spring exhibitions. #pi #fabrication #repair #studiolife #WhoAteAllThePie

We are now in the coldest February on record in Rochester New York. #werenumberone #roc #snow #publicart #record

Just a bit of snow in the display area. Ambiguous Response adorned with winters aesthetic. #snow #publicart #roc

The snow pile threatens to eclipse our view of the display area. #snow #publicart #roc #sunrise #shadows

Some days working in the design area is like being in a snow globe. #snow #roc #branch #fan #ohtheweatheroutsideisfrightful
