END OF PART THE FIRST.





I return to New York tomorrow, sad to leave my triangles awaiting final assembly on site. Originally, we were planning on installing it in a very sad square downtown, where all the truly advanced drunkards in Reykjavik converge to make hostile accusations to each other. The statue in the photo below is Reykjavik's first sheriff, bringing order to the wild frontier. Perhaps that's why the square is so popular with the shadier elements of town.

Now, we have a new and certainly more prestigious possiblity to install in the garden of the Kjarvalstaưir museum. It will definitely be more lovely a setting and also more protected, as our little beast turns out to be rather fragile, particularly in the face of the bellicose local drinking style.
I have my fingers crossed that I will be invited to return to town by the museum for the opening. Goodness knows I would require patronage for such a journey.

BERMUDA TRIANGLES

Here is the wall with all of the regions separated out, comprising the structure. Shop drawings are typically an art unto themselves, a necessary step between a design office and a fabricator.
But since we are the fabricators, we just took screen shots from the 3d model. To make it, you know, actually 3d.


Inexplicably, a good deal of the pieces were missing. Misalignements and mirroring of the drill holes were common enough, which were discovered only after we stripped off the plastic and bent them.
