<span class=style21><font face=Verdana>Jason Middlebrook: Over the course of
a two week period I will gut the Wurms building of all it’s raw and reusable
materials. Each day demolition and incisions will occur and material will be
removed which will than be designed and built into furniture. During the two
week process the furniture and objects will be displayed on the site. My goal
is to save and reuse as much of the building as possible. I will approach the
building in a radical matter, cutting, exposing and dividing. The name of the
project, LIVE BUILDING will be cut in gigantic letters into the parking lot
side. The end objective is to reduce the amount of debris that will
eventually go into a land fill. The usable parts of the building create new
objects that contribute to people’s lives. Each object has a
sustainable foundation. I want people to see that the building and it’s
history was significant to the site and to the community. It’s memory
will live on in the objects it produces.</font></span></span></font> </p>
