Maria and Frieda met with Ben Osterhaudt to talk about lighting for the first Bedlam Farm Pig Barn Art Show to be held June 4 – 5 in the Pig Barn, which Maria is converting into an art gallery. The first show, “The Art Of The Everyday” will show the work of five artists – Maria, Jack Metzger, Serena Kovalosky, Diane Swanson and me. It will celebrate the conversation of everyday objects into art, from photography to gourds to quilts and potholders to sculpture and painting. The art will be for sale, and Maria has decided to preserve the Pig Barn pretty much as is, but needs some track lighting to show off the art.

Gardenworks, which is nearby, can offer people attending the show food and farm produce and other good stuff.

The show will be open to the public, and will be the first of hopefully many art shows and exhibits Maria is planning for the Pig Barn, which was used to slaughter pigs from the farm and the nearby towns. The brick cauldron structures are still there.  It’s a beautiful space and Maria will curate this and other shows.
