Kelly Towles’ Ghost Market

As part of the ongoing Catalyst show at the Katzen Arts Center in Washington DC, artists Kelly Towles, Erik Otto, Michael Murphy and Blake Martin created a massive outdoor installation piece consisting of roughly one hundred found doors and wood. After attaching the panels to the concrete walls of the Sylvia Berlin Katzen Sculpture Garden, the four artists braved the rainy DC weather to create a towering installation, Ghost Market. The three dimensional piece is open to the public seven days a week and has just been extended till January 2011.
