Hey all!! I’m currently working on an update of my piece Random Screen and I’m in the delicate situation to need to EMPTY 25 beer cans for this project by thursday morning. I have no clue how to do this by myself and I would very much appreciate your help on processing the liquid of these beer cans. Please post your application with picture in the comments and make sure to reference your expertise and prior experience in this very field.
All friends are welcome to hang out with me at my studio tomorrow night Oct. 5 in Berlin-Wedding any time after 8pm! :)
