February Featured Artist: Reid Martin

Things tend to grow when there’s more of something. Roads get wider. Storage gets bigger. Life fills up. So naturally, in times like these, toilets should expand too.

This February, Reid Martin’s Extendo Toilets take over Avant Card at Archway Studios. These toilets refuse to commit to a single purpose: ash tray, planter, incense burner, jewelry holder, or whatever helps you manage the excess. Available in five colors at Avant Card.

Open:
Friday, February 6, 5–8 PM
Saturday, February 7 & 14, 10 AM–4 PM
