Distillery District - Octopus Project
The Octopus Project’s bi-monthly art series gathers 100 artists to showcase new work in various
media on the theme of “Secrets” in the halls of the Case Goods Warehouse and Balzac’s
Café;. As an extension of the Project, visitors of the Case Goods Warehouse will participate in
a growing installation of floating, white balloons, writing their secrets on cards and placing them anonymously
in a box. Throughout the evening the cards will be attached to balloons and released up to the ceiling,
filling the space, and hanging just high enough for visitors to read the secrets. Participants can also
select a secret from the box and read it into a telephone. In the freight elevator, surrounded by the
sounds of whispers, riders can pick up a second phone to listen to the secrets being shared.
