stormy preparations


Even a stormy, rainy day won't deter us from having First Backyard ready for it's premiere installation. Adam is out there, working until the rain starts again, to get his project "Reaching Out" ready for Art Detour.

Have an idea for a project that would go perfectly in my backyard? send it over to furryjenusATgmailDOTcom.

Brainstorming on a future First Backyard project of my own: one where i will teach interested people how to properly fold a fitted sheet.

PRESS RELEASE for "Reaching Out" by Adam Murray



In its premiere installation, First Backyard welcomes sound artist Adam Murray who will utilize this raw, outdoor space to create a new interactive installation that taps into personal and universal issues of loneliness, language and communication.

Reaching Out utilizes materials such as cardboard, wire, speakers and an audio mix of static, frequency changes and murmuring in a primitive attempt to connect the internal to the external world.

Art Detour hours:
Saturday, March 6, 10am-6pm
Sunday, March 7, 12pm-6pm

First Backyard
1341 W. Woodland (through the gate and in the backyard)
Phoenix, AZ 85007

Be sure to visit First Backyard during Art Detour for this premiere and one-time only exhibition.
