Yes and no. Although never intended to be The End, a closing post was made in October 2013. And since then, the blog just is, in limbo, and never totally dormant. I hope it continues to be a useful resource, nostalgia machine, and/or archive of a particular time.

Blue tape painting
A "blue tape painting" in the hallway outside of Elsa's room. We've been working on it for a few months, a few minutes at a time. She requests a "little one, great big one, skinny one, or triangle one" and I cut each shape to order.

Workshops about Art and space
Jordi Ferreiro designs and leads workshops for kids to make art in and about space. He sets them free with rolls of colored tape, the same he uses in his own work. About his workshop at the Centre d'art La Panera in Lleida, near Barcelona, Jordi says:
"The kids was freaking out because they never have ABSOLUTLEY FREEDOM for drawing in the space, without paper and with the 3D possibility. They starting making really small rubbertape drawing, and later was have been constructing houses, spiderwebs... really really cool!"
He's just as excited about his next workshop "A Floating Exhibition" where "the parents and kids must work in [with] balloons and when they are finished, we leave it away in the sky, like a museum in the sky..."

Nice for a play room
I think this is from an old NY Times style section slideshow.
Yep, architect Richard Rogers designed a 2,800 sq ft glass cube on top of a Shoreditch warehouse for his son and his family. The fresh conversation pit can be seen from the street. Thanks Greg.
