The Vacancy Project

April 8th, 2011 @ 7PM

Central National Bank Building

219 E. Broad Street Richmond, VA 23241

Visit Richmond’s vacant Central National Bank Building to experience a series of light and sound installations throughout the building. The project hopes to creatively address and affect the issue of over 2,400 vacant buildings in the city.

The VACANCY Project is a collaboration between sculptor Joshua Bennett and sound artist John Dombroski.

Josh Bennett is a good friend of ours, and we’re so excited to see this installation!

Graffiti, Fulton Gas Works, Fulton Hill. January 2010.

Gorgeous, color-saturated graffiti in Fulton.

spent allllll day yesterday re-exploring Fulton Gasworks for a photoshoot with some local Richmond musicians, and got some great shots on the side as well!

we’re also planning explorations of some new spots, and re-explorations of old favorites… a bus depot, an industrial bakery, maybe some warehouses around town, and another look at the abandoned movie theater we’ve posted some photos of in the past. any other ideas for places we can poke around in? let us know!
