Update #2: Marina Zurkow Opens Oct 22
Hi everyone,
Please join us on Friday, October 22 from 8pm to 11pm for the Marian Spore Autumn Party, at which we will unveil Marina Zurkow's new project, entirely funded by you!

Thanks to your support, projects by Joe Winter and Thom Kubli have been on view at Marian Spore since July 30. We've gotten great feedback and so far nearly 100 people have floated. It's led to some nice press too, such as:

We'll be going through our reward lists this week, so if you haven't gotten yours yet you should get it soon.
Hope to see you soon,
Michael
Update #1: Thanks for your support!
Thanks to 75 generous souls, we're now only $333 away from our $4000 goal, with 4 days left. We really, really appreciate all of your support.
Remember, if you donated $30 or more, you are entitled to pre-book a floatation session in Thom Kubli's tank (when we open this up to the general public, it's gonna fill up fast!) Hopefully you've gotten an email from us about this already, but we'll be double checking our list over the next week to make sure we haven't left anyone out.
Thanks again, and see you soon!

Marian Spore is an art space in Industry City, Brooklyn. It's a 16,000 square foot space where we periodically add new artworks to a slowly-growing "collection." You can find out more on our website (link below).
The photo is a picture of Michael Connor (that's me), the founder of Marian Spore. I'm a writer and curator focusing on the intersections among art, film and new media. I lived in the UK for five years, where I worked as Curator at FACT (Liverpool) and Head of Exhibitions at BFI Southbank (London). Since I've been back, I curated this touring show and co-curated this show in Melbourne about the history of the moving image.
