I now understand why Jasper Dankearts and his Lapadist trip companions wore such plain clothing.
With all the wall paint colors, postcard designs, and board layouts we have to choose from for the show, coming to a conscenous about what looked best was more than difficult. When we were voting about which six colors we were going to use to represent each of the six days Jasper spent in Brooklyn, I tried to imagine what the debate would have been like if we were all trapped inside a boat on the ocean together. Or maybe if we had to decide where to get food in a strange foreign land.
Honestly, with the difficulty we faced choosing colors right here at the historical society I don't think we would have made good cross-seas explorors. But even Jasper was able to enjoy the abundance of choices available in Brooklyn. He tried fruit from the local peach orchards and we tried to decide which shade of peach makes the best postcard backround.
