New York gallery Storefront for Art and Architecture & OHWOW present Dig, an installation and performance that explores the architecture of excavation by Daniel Arsham/Snarkitecture. The project consists of 3 stages: it starts off with an exhibition through March 28. From March 29 through April 4 the gallery space will be filled with a solid volume of EPS architectural foam, engulfing the existing interior in an unyielding flood of white. The volume will then be excavated using simple tools – hammers, picks and chisels – to transform a stock industrial material into a strange, unexpected cavern for both work and play. As of March 29th, track Dig’s daily progress at www.oh-wow.com.

In the final stage, Arsham/Snarkitecture will both create and inhabit Dig for the duration of the installation. They will first carve out spaces for inhabitation with tunnels, crevices and peepholes providing views from both the interior of Storefront and the gallery space of the street. In the second stage, collective gatherings will be held as a performance open to public view from April 5 – 22.
