Tin Can Studio

Tin Can Studio founders, Caroline Ballhorn and Brodie Kitchen, and I met while in Portland, OR, during the Open Engagement Social Practice Conference, put on through PSU.  Even though we are both from Vancouver, we had not run into one another until the last day of the conference (which was odd, because not that many people were there from Canada). They had room for 1 more person in their ride, and we rode back to Vancouver the next day. It was an 8 hour drive home that felt like 10 minutes of pure pleasure.

“Tin Can Studio is a mobile project space housed in a converted 18 foot Streamline trailer. Our goal is for the project to become a platform for collaboration and public engagement; a place where people can come together to build, make, show and share ideas with the intention of building community through the act of collaborative production, as well as through the creation of a physical space for gathering and dialogue.”  – Brodie Kitchen & Caroline Ballhorn, 2010

Hammock Residency is proud to have the Tin Can Studio parked at the Hammock Residency, from June 7th, 2010; departure date unknown.
