On our way back from the “Stone Arch Bridge Art Festival” Matthew and I passed a typical warehouse building with an odd sign out front, “Soap Factory Open”. I couldn’t resist investigating what that might mean. So in we went. It turns out that the “Soap Factory” is an art space for experimental art. We walked in and Matthew announced loudly to the volunteer/docent “It stinks in here.”

Here is what appears to be an enormous knit shawl. It’s easily 12 feet across. I would hate to see the size of the knitting needles.

This was easily my favorite installation. It was a rickety rube goldberg-esque ride where you watch a small translucent piece of paper. As the wooden cart moved around the room, the scene projected on the paper kept changing. Matthew seemed to have enjoyed it almost as much as I did.

Matthew isn’t yet burdened with the adult notion that art needs to mean something, so he has always enjoyed avant-garde art.
