YES, LET’S
This has to do with Millerama – the place I grew up, a near mythical family compound that my grandmother reigned over until her recent death. Millerama continues to exist. People float in and out – stay and go. Sleep in the garden or in a bed. There is always room for one more at dinner. I’m curious to see if I can transport some aspects of my home into The Spare Room. Can I build a place that many far-flung people can inhabit, where everyone can fit?
“YES, LET’S.” is an experiment in answering this question. Work from London, Egypt, Hanoi, Portland and Japan will join the Bay Area contributions to the project in a spare room in Bernal Heights. I've invited friends from here and everywhere to send something in. I want to see how they can fit in one place, and listen to what it sounds like.
More Information is available at www.thespareroomproject.net
support for our project is provided by southern exposure's alternative exposure grant program.

How do you envision your year? What is that feeling you want to have? How can you express it on the page?
I thought of everyone around the world whose lives have been affected by the pandemic. How joyful it will be when we can beat this thing! When we can celebrate safely together again soon. What we’ve all been going through, how many lives we’ve lost, the unbelievable heroism of our healthcare workers, teachers, grocery workers, public transportation, everyone who helps make our world work and who are doing their best to keep us safe. How we are all connected - each of us unique, and together limitless.
Truong Tan working on project at Nha San Duc, Hanoi. Vietnam's first experimental arts space, where Nguyen Phuong Linh grew up. I'm thinking that building lofts will have something to do with all the time I've spent at Nha San Duc (Duc's House on Stilts)

Sunflowers in the bud stage exhibit heliotropism. At sunrise, the faces of most sunflowers are turned towards the east. Over the course of the day, they move to track the sun from east to west, while at night they return to an eastward orientation. This motion is performed by motor cells in the pulvinus, a flexible segment of the stem just below the bud. As the bud stage ends, the stem stiffens and the blooming stage is reached.
Sunflowers in the blooming stage are not heliotropic anymore. The stem has frozen, typically in an eastward orientation. The stem and leaves lose their green color.
After blooming, everything changes. As the first streaks of grey announce the coming dawn, the flower's petals wait patiently for the sun's appearance over the horizon. Every morning is the same, for the duration. The sun rises from the east, and the sunflower greets it full faced.
