Registrar's notes:
The artist received First Art Kit #6 on April 27, 2015
— Dave Rhodes did not send it. Isabel Devos did
— The cardboard shipping box had a 32.80 euro stamp on it
— The kit was 'full' of elementary art supplies
— A headline reads: "San Francisco artists struggle to stay in the city as housing costs skyrocket"
— Make some dough / Broodwinning
— All the content from the kit was donated to 'Scrap', a local re-use center for materials collected, sorted and made available to teachers, parents, artists, and organizations
— The weight of an object explains things sometimes
— The artist transforms First Art Kit #6 into an 'empty' vessel, writes a title on it and seals it shut with transparent tape
— The artist sends the package to his friend in Buenos Aires, Argentina on May 27, 2015
— What will happen there is an unknown at this point, but could include an attempt to make a San Francisco sourdough starter and bread
This project is part of First Art Kit, an elementary package containing basic art supplies traveling around the world.
