Regular Size Otis Elevator at the Turchin Center of the Visual Arts in Boone, NC
This is the regualar size elevator that is located in the other building of the museum which is actually located just inside the lobby area of the front desk. We kind of forgot to get cab view of this elevator but you can get a glimpse of it as we enter the elevator. Check out the other video I uploaded of the HUGE elevator that we got permission to ride even though that building was closed off today. Thanks again to the wonderful staff at this neat museum.

The Alternative
In 2012, Appalachian State University's Alternative Spring Break (ASB) program engaged 322 faculty, staff and students in service opportunities in 18 U.S. locations, as well as in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Peru and Jamaica. These students chose to dedicate their spring break to service rather than having a traditional spring break experience, and in doing so, created deeper connections between their classroom work and the communities of the world.

Hope Remains Part I
Hope Remains Part 1 by Charlie Brouwer
A 60'x15'x15' installation created at the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts in Boone NC. It is made of 100 old, used, broken and repaired orchard ladders & ladder fragments, slab wood, screws, canvas & latex stain. Brouwer says that the ladders remind him of people - individually showing signs of wear, but when attached together & holding each other up, able to accomplish wonderful things. This installation sculpture, along with Hope Remains Part 2 will be on exhibit from Dec. 5, 2008 until April 18 2009. The ladders come from the 100 year old Levering Orchard of Ararat, VA.

March 1- April 1, 2016
SECCA is pleased to launch 12 x 12, a new juried salon series of twelve intimately scaled solo exhibitions accompanied by artist talks with artist Endia Beal. Winston-Salem-based photographer Endia Beal's current body of work, Am I What You're Looking For is presented as a photo installation. Through a series of striking portraits, the project explores aspirations and challenges faced by college-age African-American women hoping to enter professional and corporate space.
About Endia Beal

Beal currently serves as the Director of the Diggs Gallery at Winston-Salem State University and Associate Professor of Art.

About 12 x 12
12 x 12 artist salon series presents 12 artists from North Carolina, the 12th State. Each Salon is a pop-up exhibition and conversation with the artist. The series schedule consists of three exhibitions per spring and fall seasons in 2016 and 2017, beginning March 1st, 2016. At the end of the salons, a group exhibition in our Potter Gallery will bring together all twelve artists.
The twelve artists in the series represent a diversity of artistic practices and cultural backgrounds. At salon events, each artist will share ideas and processes of their studio practice in the midst of recent, new, or site-specific work presented in SECCA's Preview Gallery. Each artist will discuss their experience first-hand, inviting the public to ask questions and to engage in conversation. Like a studio visit, these salon events are a social space for the discovery and discussion, providing invaluable feedback to artists and insights to those who come to experience them.
12 x 12 gives artists from across North Carolina a public platform for continued artistic development and recognition in the place where they live and work, and beyond. At the same time, the series aims to push conversation around contemporary art forward and to consider the significance of localism as a curatorial framework. What does it mean to these artists to be working in the South and Southeast today, especially after the Internet and Globalization?
The 12 x 12 artists were selected by Cora Fisher (Curator of Contemporary Art, SECCA) and four guest jurors: Linda Dougherty (Chief Curator & Curator of Contemporary Art, North Carolina Museum of Art); Lia Newman (Director and Curator of the Van Every/Smith Galleries at Davidson College); Marshall Price (Nancy Hanks Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University); and Mary Anne Redding (Curator, Turchin Center for the Visual Arts).

Unique triangle-shaped Otis hydraulic scenic elevator - NC Museum of Art - Meredith, Raleigh
UPDATE 12/28/2016: This elevator is very sadly in the process of being modernized by Otis with Series 2 fixtures.
Recorded 12/26/2014
This is a very unique triangle-shaped scenic elevator in this museum. The elevator is kind of like a piece of art. It even has security sensors on the windows. But that's probably for if someone tries to break into the museum by the elevator from the outside. This also has an EPIC motor. Too bad I talked over it though! And even worse I can't do a retake. I find it interesting how this has GAL RRB fixtures rather than the Otis Halo Lexan fixtures, as this doesn't seem like a cheap budget install.
