Paul Howe

Intern 2012

Paul Howe is the Commissioner of The Bureau of Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding. "The Bureau of Maintenance, Repair, and Rebuilding is a public service dedicated to improving the health of our infrastructures, machines, and commodities, because we believe that the health of these things is at the root of our political, economic, and cultural health." He is also a turnkey creative infrastructure developer. He received his education from Cynthia Parry, Drew Goerlitz, John Hock, and Andy Dunnill, and is currently pursuing a doctorate in home repair and bellying through muddy crawlspaces under the wisdom of Hernan Durango. 

Building Curator 2013

Paul is a sculptor, builder, re-arranger, and maintenance expert. He fixes public infrastructure for free, engineers off the cuff, and believes that the value of a thing lies in the stuff it is of, not its decorations, though decorations are okay sometimes. He has worked at Franconia Sculpture Park in Minnesota, has exhibited his publicly scaled sculptures up and down the east coast and midwest, and has built two wood fired pizza ovens. He holds a BFA from SUNY Plattsburgh, and an MFA in sculpture from UNCG.

Colin Bliss

Colin Bliss is a sculptor, tinkerer, writer and sometimes fake astronaut. Born and raised on the island of Manhattan, he now lives and makes work in Providence, RI. His personal work tends to explore the emotional lives of objects, and how those emotions coincide, or completely butt up against those of humans. His sculpture ranges from devastatingly permanent and heavy to fleeting and transient. For nearly a decade he has worked as a key member of a public art and education collective, making large, temporary, collaborative murals with tape, and using them as a tool for education.
