Sage Hut
Formed out of detritus collected from East Side dumpsters and discarded furniture salvaged from the curb, Sage Hut is a site-specific sensory experience device that is free and open to the public on a 24-hour basis. Essentially a temporary private space located within a public space, to some it is a place of quiet meditation, a place for thinking, reading, or writing. However, how and when the piece is accessed and utilized is completely up to the viewer, leading to any number of interpretations as to its function and purpose.
(located at the Woods-Gerry Lawn, on Meeting St. between Congdon St. and Prospect St.)

Aaron Handler
Aaron Handler lives and works in Providence, a city that has inspired him through the sheer richness of its post-industrial decay. Many of the materials he uses are collected from streets, dumpsters, and abandoned spaces. Currently his work is devoted towards constructing opportunities for social interaction as well as developing interactive, functional objects and architectural spaces that alter, heighten, and focus the human perceptual and sensory experience.
