The exhibit lands in Tallahassee on Saturday, August 30, 2008 and will take off Thursday, January 8, 2009. | | see web site for details | | Sabrina Johnson | | sjohnson@thebrogan.org | | www.thebrogan.org |

Duval St. Tallahassee, FL | | DRAWING IN SPACE: The Peninsula Project exhibit, "Inside The Sculptor's Studio" will open October 27, 2008 to coincide with the installation of the monumental sculpture, "Quark" in Burnett Park in downtown Tallahassee. This exhibit will take place on the interactive 1st floor of the museum until January 16. "Inside The Sculptor's Studio" will take chiildren and adults inside John Henry's studio and provide them with an experience that leaves them with an understanding of how the artist builds his massive steel sculpture. Museum visitors will find themselves surrounded by sculpting tools, engineer drawings, photos and video of the actual construction process. By replicating his studio in the museum, John Henry will provide answers to many of the questions that will arise after viewing his work in Burnett Park and create a more meaningful experience of the sculpture sighted around the state.
