JANUARY-FEBRUARY AT 2023 REYNOLDS, NORTH CHARLESTON

conNECKtedTOO is transitioning. For the purpose of supporting TINY BUSINESS as an essential form of commerce in Charleston, the Collective is morphing from the hard media of sculpture, poster, performance and diagram making, to the virtuality of a Mobile App to be found at TINYisPOWERFUL.com. conNECKtedTOO is dedicated to very small enterprises. They are powerful models of creativity, citizenship, courage and sustainability.

To accomplish such a metamorphosis, we found it necessary to gather together all the productions from the diverse studios of its members, lots of its research and findings, documentation of all its live dialogues and collaborations with participating Charleston Tiny Businesses and more … at a place on Reynolds Avenue in North Charleston. We have two months there to transform a very raw warehouse, in a very transitional area, into what we conceptualize as a PUBLIC ART SPACE.
