<p>The <a href="http://vimeo.com/5595869" target="_blank">555 KUBIK</a> is a fresh approach to architectural facade projections. A great combination of contextual relevancy and artistic abstraction.</p>
<p>A collaboration of many including <a href="http://www.urbanscreen.com" target="_blank">urbanscreen.com</a> and <a href="http://www.rossarossa.de" target="_blank">Daniel Rossa</a>, and located at the <a href="http://www.hamburger-kunsthalle.de" target="_blank">Hamburger Kunsthalle</a> on O. M. Ungers&#8217; Gallery of Contemporary Art.</p>

<p>We are finally settled into our new studio at 120 W. North Avenue in the <a href="http://www.loadoffun.net" target="_blank">Load of Fun</a> building. There&#8217;s still lots left to do but, our computers are up and we had a routine morning of Café Bustelo and NPR.<br />
<span id="more-164"></span><br />
We are super excited to be a part of the Load of Fun community, being among the emerging and established artists working in a variety media from 2D, to 3D, to installation, performances and everything in between. Some include: <a href="http://www.loadoffun.net/LoadofFun/TheLOFtCalendar.html" target="_blank">the LOF/t</a>, <a href="http://www.singlecarrot.com/" target="_blank">Single Carrot Theatre</a>, <a href="http://www.jordanfayecontemporary.com" target="_blank">Jordan Faye Contemporary</a>, <a href="http://www.juliapearson.com/" target="_blank">Julia Pearson Photography</a>, <a href="http://www.jackiemilad.com" target="_blank">Jackie Milad</a>, <a href="http://www.sergiomartinezarchitect.com/" target="_blank">Sergio Martinez Architecture</a> and <a href="http://www.loadoffun.net/LoadofFun/ArtistsinResidence.html" target="_blank">more&#8230;</a></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-404" title="blog-studio2" src="http://www.diagonalbaltimore.com/wp-content/uploads/blog-studio2.jpg" alt="blog-studio2" width="457" height="343" /></p>
<p>Located within <a href="http://www.stationnorth.org" target="_blank">Station North Arts &amp; Entertainment District</a>, this was the first area in Baltimore City to receive the state designation as an arts and entertainment district. There is always something going on here such as the <a href="http://www.loadoffun.net/LoadofFun/FleaMarket.html" target="_blank">Station North Flea Market</a> on first Saturdays or various events at <a href="http://www.thewindupspace.com/" target="_blank">the Windup Space</a>. Definitely stop by and check them out.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-405" title="blog-studio3" src="http://www.diagonalbaltimore.com/wp-content/uploads/blog-studio3.jpg" alt="blog-studio3" width="457" height="343" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-406" title="blog-studio4" src="http://www.diagonalbaltimore.com/wp-content/uploads/blog-studio4.jpg" alt="blog-studio4" width="457" height="343" /></p>
<p>The LOF warehouse building itself is an amazing space due to it&#8217;s architectural features, character and its history. The building, between Maryland Ave. &amp; Howard St., contains 24,000 sq. ft of space on 3 levels with 14 ft. ceilings and original maple floors throughout. There is an 8’x15’ freight elevator that makes moving big stuff relatively easy. But, the best thing is the large warehouse windows that let in tons of natural light. And check out the back alley which has some of the <a href="http://www.citypaper.com/bob/story.asp?id=14503" target="_blank">best graffiti in the city</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-407" title="blog-studio5" src="http://www.diagonalbaltimore.com/wp-content/uploads/blog-studio5.jpg" alt="blog-studio5" width="457" height="343" /></p>
<p>For most of its existance the building housed some form of automotive related business, hence the vehicle sized freight elevator. The property was built sometime between 1906 and 1914, when it was occupied by Eastwick Motor Company, Garage, Sales and Auto-Repairing (Ford Dealer). Other owners sold Graham Page automobiles, De Soto, Plymouth and Nash automobiles. From l978 to 2005 the property was owned by Lombard Office Furniture. Read more about the <a href="http://www.loadoffun.net/LoadofFun/Building.html" target="_blank">historic significance</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-408" title="blog-studio6" src="http://www.diagonalbaltimore.com/wp-content/uploads/blog-studio6.jpg" alt="blog-studio6" width="457" height="186" /></p>
<p>Ironically, there are no more car dealers on this busy strip&#8230; hopefully we will <a href="http://www.charlesstreet.org/trolley/" target="_blank">revert back</a> to the street cars that used to run through here. Either way we are happy to be a part of this new history.</p>
<p>Stop by and visit us!</p>

<p>Via my good friend Derek Friday&#8217;s outstanding design blog, <a href="http://finndustry.com" target="_blank">Finndustry</a>, comes a unique approach to interior work environments and material choice – an office space made entirely of corrugated cardboard. <a href="http://www.nothingamsterdam.com" target="_blank">Nothing Amsterdam</a> chose to follow <a href="http://www.projectjoost.com/" target="_blank">Joost van Bleiswijk&#8217;s</a> &#8216;No Screw, No Glue&#8217; technique.</p>
