Thank you for your continued interest and support. We are at a very exciting moment:

The future of Cold Storage is unknown with its tentative site and imprecise function. As of January 23, 2007 we have begun again to use the inside of the building. Two months of dangerous construction conditions are nearing an end, which means we are gearing up for more projects.

In the past few weeks we have begun small scale investigations inside the structure during construction hours (the only audience is the construction crew, who are busy at work). Things are looking like we will be able to do public presentations again very soon. For now though, the largely abandoned street between has proved an ideal location for capacitors, dance battles, festivals, and happy hours.



FUTURE projects will likely include:

a sonic boom (Steve Rowell)
a workshop on feminism to celebrate the building's completion (Emily Roysdon)
a colored light orchestra (Jesse Carmichael)
feedback loops (Luke Taylor Thomas)
an igloo (Katie Bachler)
viento armonico (Thadeus Frazier Reed)
breath interface (qusai kathawala)
sweeping
harmoniums for the construction crew
singing
eating
a guided hike through the site
ongoing photo explorations
more new music sound explorations
video recordings
lots and lots of typewriters
a school
with a dozen more on the table as well right now.

Issued September 5, 2007:

The power is about to be turned on for the first time. Projects may resume in some way inside the building, the parking lot or in some other way. It seems that Cold Storage may have run its course. Is there a reason to proceed with other projects - there? Well yes, but likely not with the same constraints or moniker as Cold Storage. Temporary and uncertainty abounded. Our relationship (friendship) with our neighbors is stronger now, and it looks likley we will in some way continue to cross projects with this unlikely venue. We will get back to you soon, for now RoutesAndMethods is exploring other venues (avenues). We certainly wish we had been able to explore more of the projects below. Maybe we will?

For the final six weeks of construction a photo has been taken at least once every 30 minutes from the window overlooking the site. Thank you for your interest and continued support.

Sincerely,

RoutesAndMethods
