Surprise second exhibition!
The Burrow will be a secondary space for VLW, administered by me (Aad) with the help of Noemata. A strange-loop reflection of the pavilion proper, like neighbors in a disparaged apartment complex realizing they could both have a huge living space by hammering down the wall between them -- instead of living perfectly bounded, cramped and alone. The two spaces will be part of the show on separate sites, verylarge.works <http://verylarge.works/> and h.aard.work <http://h.aard.work/>.

    [Very Large Work - VLW - Vulnerable List Wrapper]
    [Somewhat Nestled Wrapper - SNW - Safe Not-Work]

The space is inspired by the Aardvark; who when threatened prefers to hide - using its claws to dig into the ground rather than striking. The Burrow is imagined as a spot in the VLW gallery where someone got too afraid and violently dug through the floor, shattering both marble and claws, to huddle with the roots in the earth.

Here we look for alternative ways to contend with the rapacity of the world. Ways not content with only turning the tables, still at the same table. Ways to hide under the table or to comfort those who must hide.
