Artwork received for our current exhibition “Open Storage” exceeded the space’s
capacity. We need the additional 4’ x 8’ space provided by the Collective Show to
temporarily store artwork. Boxes, crates, and tubes will be labeled with artist names
and contents sent to D‐Block for temporary storage.

D-Block Projects: “Open Storage”
“Open Storage” Dec/2010 – Jan/2011
is an invitation for artists to use D-Block Projects as a storage facility and exhibition space for artworks that
would otherwise not be seen and out of view of the public’s eye. This exhibition draws upon the “open
storage” trend found in several museums where storage facilities are opened to the public to see the private
existence of stored art. The open storage experience removes the historical context of works and instead
displays work based on the size, logistics of storage and the availability of space
