In response to the concept of Between the Walls, the final exhibition in 2006 before Southern Exposure temporarily moved for seismic retrofitting and renovation, and in celebration of Southern Exposure’s rich 32 year history in its space, open source artist collective Rebar created EnCanment - a temporary canning operation that harvested, processed and canned the gallery itself. Rebar systematically mapped and cored sections of the gallery wall and canned the cores in metal cans, on-site during the opening and closing night events. The cans were then labeled and numbered and are available for sale. By purchasing a can of Southern Exposure, you will become part owner of the gallery itself.
