It's always sad to see an exhibit leave THEMUSEUM and RAM is no exception. I will dearly miss the cubic visions of Manfred Mohr, the LED masterpieces of Jim Campbell, the watchful eyes of Alan Rath, the "reflective" mirrors of Danny Rozin, the rhythmic beats of Peter Vogel, the terrifying sounds of David Rokeby, and the image overload of George Legrady.

But there's no time to mourn the departure of RAM (it will likely be touring - stay tuned) - first thing Monday morning, RAM was being dismantled and on its way out. In its place, ARENA | The Hockey Exhibition will take over starting February 3rd, definitely a worthy successor.

Let's see some of the work in action...

Here's Manfred Mohr's room being dismantled.

Jim Campbell's work is mostly in boxes already!

Big mirrors need big boxes.

Rozin's "X by Y" being packed up.

One of the more difficult installations to take apart is Jim Campbell's "Exploded View". The strands of LED lights must be meticulously placed in their labelled positions in order for the programmed recreation of "birds" to work properly upon the next assembly.

In between exhibitions, we are able to schedule in regular maintenance. In this case, we're refinishing the floors in the Tot Spot and Cafeteria.

Here's the refinishing in action.
