and here we see some of the more... benign of the museum's staff who enjoy watching us work, some of whom are photographers/ cinematographers documenting the process for posterity... most of which is English, so i guess the joke is one them... or they will dub over their own audio later on. right now we are working on the particular math problem that the museum gave us... the measured a section of the wall to the proportions of the original drawing, and made sure it fit between the various ducts and outlets, where as the whole point of a mural, especially for so lewitt is to use the whole wall with no exceptions. oh and our favorite individual, not pictured is a member of the staff who for was or is an architect (language barrier) was not happy with the proportions we worked out for the entire wall and drew all over the original drawing to show how ours did not match up, at which point it was discovered that the original drawing (not done by sol lewitt i might add) was actually erroneous to the specifications of this particular work, at which point we have not seen the architect since this discovery...
