What do you do with an old farm shed? It’s the ideal farm building within the Jeffersonian ideal of the yeoman farmer, but in this age of corporate bottom-line-comes-first and heedless self-interest agriculturenot so. Restoring old sheds is pretty much in full decline as a social preoccupation, with all the glamour and appeal of having contact with third-world biohazards. But, flip the script, all you got to do is re-channel your inner Martha, adjust your attitude, and increase your appreciation of those treasures disguised as trash. With Panglossian effusion, the grad students in the UNL FACT class, free of obstacles to innovation, are transforming this palace of retro into a castle of class. Watch them during Art Harvest disassemble the shed and load the parts onto a trailer. Why all this activitywell, you can see the building, reassembled as a video viewing lounge, in the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery as part of Art Farm@Sheldon, an exhibit opening in January 2008, showing the possibilities of what can be done with the rest of the old buildings at Art Farm.
