Will the Patoni exhibit be done then, too, or is that next year?

Hmm... I'm going home for July 4th weekend, would like to see if I can make the trip up to see it. But not sure it's going to be fully opened.

I'm excited about doing the walk through. I'll have to get up there over the summer.

I was up there this weekend and it was easy to tell it was close to done.

Woah that's fast. Looks like all they need on the outside is a little landscaping. Can't wait!

What is the Patoni exhibit

What is the Patoni exhibit

An exhibit dedicated to the life and works of Enzo Patoni, the Italian artist who designed and fabricated the ceiling tiles for Gampel Pavilion.

is it titled, "The Fraying of Time"?

is it titled, "The Fraying of Time"?

Or more likely, "The ravages of a short time".

Pretty cool to see the lights on at night in the live stream. Whose getting shots up?

 

[tcf15]

Bump.

Looks like they've taken down the barriers.

Once the landscaping goes in the curb appeal will increase significantly.

Hot chick running!

Does anyone have some pictures of the inside? I know they have the demos on the website, but I'd like to see what it looks like in real time. I'm guessing the main entrance is like walking through the NBA Hall of Fame - Photos of all time Husky greats, championship banners/trophies.

The opening exhibit will be a tribute to Enrico Pallazzo.

So, was John on campus?

 

[minidarren]

He was on the 50 yard line at Burton. Seemed like he was waiting for something.

I heard a rumor from a very legit source saying that the complex is done, but they forgot to order the furniture. Not even joking.

Bob's Furniture to the rescue.

I've often wondered, why, if Enzo Patoni tiles are supposedly the dogs balls, do those damn things come down so easily? Did they use Elmer's glue on the install?

Also, why can't they spray a little white paint on there right now. Just to cover up the brown toilet water stain all over the ceiling.

Ha! I'm merely speaking of a temporary solution, you know, so it doesn't look like a toilet bowl, while we await the hoped for resurrection of one Enzo Patoni.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Perhaps that is true but we've seriously reached the point where a little sandpaper, followed by a coat of primer and a couple of coats of paint would be an improvement.

 

[Mike Honcho]

This made me seriously LOL. Well done sir.
