Art Opening- West Eleven - Argot & Ochre Blog

by DANIEL ROLNIK   on NOVEMBER 12, 2011

West Eleven Creative House had it's first happening on 11.11.11, in which Kim Barry and Joey Thate planned   an awesome evening of events. I unfortunately arrived late, so I missed Rachel Borovik's musical set, but I kept hearing how freaking amazing it was. I did, however, get to participate in a game of adult Jenga, where instead of trying to remove harmless blocks you had to stack sharp pieces of wood and nails on top of each other. And I think that it's probably one of the coolest art games ever invented.
