It Happened! Had my opening at AMT in Lake Como!

Here’s some image from the work in the show. For all images, visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/marchorowitz/sets/72157601172660405/

George Clooney decided not to show up, but I did go to his house - it’s too big.

Shinguard Armor (on mannequin). This is for people with a fear of sharp objects.

The Fight Noise with Noise Kit (and campaign posters).

Fight Noise with Noise Kit Instructions:

1) Find someone (an offender) that displeases you with his or her noise — be it a loud motorcycle, a late-nite party, or a barking dog.
2) If you don’t already know where the offender lives, find out. For example, if the offender rides a loud motorcycle that keeps roaring by, follow them to their home.
3) Return to the offender’s home around three or four in the morning on a workday with the Fight Noise with Noise (FNWN) kit.
4) Open the FNWN kit, tape the appropriate card (three are provided and one is blank for your choosing) to their front door or as close as possible.
5) Assemble the air horn by putting the trumpet in the hole on the canister.
6) Plug your ears with earplugs (provided).
7) Quickly tape down the top of the air horn so it continuously goes off.
8) Throw it on their roof or in some shrubbery.
9) Exit the scene quickly.
Thank you for purchasing the Fight Noise with Noise Kit. Enjoy your life.

I slept in the gallery under my “personal spam” hoping I’d get rich…

This is the official kit for selling the “Mystery Bags o change.” Basically you sell each bag for $5 and the person may reoup their money or they may loose out or they could hit the jackpot. It’s like a homemade lottery system (the seller always comes out on top - shhhhhhh!)

The DIY (do it yourself) Helicopter. You can make one of these if you have a brick house and take it apart. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
