BYOB Maine

BYOB is an exhibition format I created about a year ago. Much to my surprise it spread all over the globe in a few months. It makes me very happy to see people’s enthusiasm and even more interesting is the differences between various BYOB’s. Above is a video registration of BYOB Maine curated by Rollin Leonard. It looks amazing, here are some notes from a recent chat with him:

me: great byob! very different
Rollin: It was a total pain in the ass. My arms and legs are still throbbing from carrying plastic bins of technology through the woods. But I’m like I did it.
me: is it a prison?
Rollin: no, it was an abandon army bunker
when they first tested the large guns it blew out all the windows on the far side of the island
me: wow
Rollin: Now the beavers live there… which made it wet.
