Building and Tornados...

Hello from the freiraum quartier21 INTERNATIONAL!!!
We have officially set up camp within the gallery that will be transformed into the world of Fish and Chips, Twice Please?! With the keys finally in our pocket there has been lots of building and making of stuff going on this week!
The team have been working hard on transforming the space (with the help of the lovely guys at Redbull who sent us a load of product to keep the troops going!) and in other news our amazing Fish and Chips tote bags also arrived this week as you can see above!

A road trip out of town with our wonderful assistant and aspiring designer, Anna, and one of the exhibition contributors, Russell Barratt, to pick up fabrics and trimmings saw us caught up in a real life Tornado...it was even on the news! With the car packed to the brim with materials and props we skidded to a halt to avoid a windswept picnic table dancing across the road! We even captured some of the damage on the camera as you can see!

Another venture out of the MuseumsQuartier Wien saw us getting crafty in the DIY store whilst picking up supplies in preparation for the build...it resulted in us painting the tarmac pastel blue after a slippy can of paint took a tumble from our trolley!ooops!!!
Watch this space for more behind the scenes action and gossip!
Love
Team Fish and Chips
