  • DRAWING LINES

  • An artist-driven, community-based public project, Drawing Lines was commissioned in response to Austin’s historic political transformation. At its core, Drawing Lines is an exploratory conversation about the dynamics of place. It’s a project about process that examines the role of contemporary culture in the transition and transformation of place. The project explores how art itself, as a process, can be part of the conversation about Austin’s newly restructured political system and embeds artists within the foundation of a rapidly changing, ever-evolving city.

    In 2012, the citizens of Austin initiated and … Keep Reading→

  • REAL ALE KIOSK

  • Real Ale Brewing Co. commissioned DBA to design and build a memorable bar / kiosk for their booth (amongst a sea of white pop-up tents) at the 2013 Great American Beer Festival in Denver, CO. From discarded whiskey barrel staves, Spence and Jack were able to develop a deployable geodesic-like kiosk, with circular steel bar, and locations for too many keg taps. We made adjustments to the kiosk for 2014 GABF that reduced the kiosk’s shipping weight and overall dimensions, as well as the time it takes to set up … Keep Reading→

  • TITO’S ACL LIVE

  • Four weeks prior to the grand opening of Austin City Limits Moody Theater, Tito’s Handmade Vodka contacted us to create a light installation at the venue’s outdoor bar. The first installation is made from over 500 vodka bottles of varying sizes, all held together with a steel band and lit with LED lights. We later returned and did a similar installation (with horizontal bottles) at upstairs bar.… Keep Reading→
