Bruce Busby's works combine organic forms, technological materials and structures, and an imaginative science of protective filtration. This exhibition will feature a group of portable architectural sculptures—tent-like structures with individual filtration systems, a.k.a. "Creativity Enhancement Shelters."

Bruce Busby has created a portable architecture of filtered spaces. Here, technological structures mix uneasily with organic forms. Taut fiberglass rods suspend glossy cocoons of parachute silk. Mesh-covered portholes cut into gleaming fabric pods resemble the multiple eyes of an insect. Sleek industrial materials are held together with found hardware and hand cast components. A motor humming at the back of a low, dark tent provides mechanical power for an obscure atmospheric operation....

Bruce Busby has created gear for a mental journey. He has devised emotional baggage in which to pack up our anxieties and perhaps let them grow and ferment within the purity and protection of freshly designed microclimates. (Ellen Lupton, 2002)

According to Busby, "Greatest hope now lies with the Self-supporting, self-sufficient, collapsible O.P.P. Primary Filter tents and Creativity Enhancement Shelters."

RECOMMENDED USAGE: Fifteen minutes of splendid isolation inside a self-supporting Filter Tent

FUNCTION: The static action of the tent's lightweight fabric membrane activates reconfiguration solely through location airflow. Strategically placed intake vents increase airflow through the static action membranes. Coerced location airflow channels the transformed constructive particle formations by way of reintroduction chutes or mesh portals.

BENEFITS: Enhance creativity and build immunity to multi-faceted chaos and creativity limiting commerce driven negotiations. Protect against (1) energy and imagination draining CIEI including Oxydipostulatoxigen (MicroFictional Categorical Capacity), (2) visual distraction and elemental compromise (now scale), (3) conceptual criticism (functional validity is indisputable) (MacroFunctional Capacity). Combines the necessary influx of function with the urgency (currency) of Art. Portability encourages widespread installation.
