Where is it

Where is Everything?

While MoHA is in a constant state of change, continuity of material location and finding things easier makes everything flow smoother and the work gets done faster. As always we are open to any input on the reorganization of tools and materials both digital and physical.

Default Space Layout

At its best, MoHA rests with solid white walls and a fully open space to be utilized.

• All tools and extension cables are put away
• The trash is cleaned up to be the best of our ability
• The chairs and pews are stored efficiently and out of sight, covered by the large tarps next to the bathroom outside of the venue space
• The wood/plastic/other sheet materials and props are stored on the second floor
• The 2x4’s, 2x6’s, 4x4’s etc are stored underneath the venue stage
• The ladders are chained up by the back bay door in the venue
• The kitchen is cleaned, all dishes put away
• Doors and bay doors are locked
• Lights are off

As of right now (2.29.2020) things are located as follows:

We currently use a colored tape system for the storage of tools located next to the resident studio and the kitchen area

We are in the process of reorganization and effective labeling of storage systems and bins, changes will be made when necessary

2nd Floor Storage

Second floor storage is accessible by the ladder above Adrian’s studio. The lightswitch for the second floor storage is directly at the top of the ladder next to the rolled sheets(3).

Suggested rules of storage

• Stack big on bottom, small on top
• Keep organized by what looks alike to the best of your ability
• DON'T step on the silver air duct ventilation, things will not be fun for anyone
• Never load anything down or up without help, its heavy and we want you to be safe

There are 4 noted areas of storage

1. Plywood, Plastic Sheets, Composite Board Sheets, Pvc Piping, as well as the sheet material of MoHA Alone and Batman Begins Begins (these are visually obvious by their coloration, often blue, pink and yellow)
2. Assorted Materials→ no specific distinction as to what this is, you will likely not interact with this
3. Rolled Paper and other rolled materials, stored in the rafters
4. Props → this includes MoHA Alone, Batman Begins Begins and other things (big feet, monkey man, etc)
5. Ben’s Studio

Outside (near porta potties)

This space is often the most used by visitors to the venue area. Storage is as follows.

1. Benches→ Keep covered with large tarps to avoid water damage, heavy so use at least two hands to move them
2. Porta Potties→ cleaned weekly (by outside company), keep lights taped up, pick up trash in/around if necessary
3. Outside Storage Area→ Platforms, other tables, mini bars, excess wood. These are heavy so use at least two people to move these structures
4. String of Lights→ keep up and away from tall structures, important at night.

Outside (Cage and Mall)

The Mall is a small art gallery in Austin, TX. We help artists make a living, with a particular interest in uplifting women artists, queer artists, and artists of color whose voices are more often marginalized, and to create an exciting and beautiful platform and context for their work. A majority of our gallery features works from Austin artists, and is exemplary of the unique culture of Austin. Beyond a space for exhibition, The Mall also actively facilitates education and community via four workshops annually, and the creation of new art via commissions of editioned work.

Cage Match Project Gallery lives in an industrial caged-trailer. Measured at 20’x8’x7’, this weathered and rusted container resides in a gravel parking lot in Austin, TX where it is under constant exposure to the elements and 24-hour public viewership. By fully embracing the caged-trailer as both literal and conceptual context, Cage Match Project purposefully stages a narrative of the artist-at- odds, with either history, space, or a work of art itself.

1. The Mall→ Organized and maintained by its own group of people, you will occasionally retrieve things out of here but leave things how you found them
2. Cage Match→ installed by its own group, you will likely not interact with this other than plug it into an outlet or something similar
3. Benches area→ water can collect here so try to keep the benches in a place where water does not stagnate, pick up trash as needed, there is a string of lights that reaches out to the cement pillar so be wary of that if you are moving tall objects
4. Behind the Mall→ Storage/Work area, be wary of bugs and pick up trash as needed
5. Gravel Pit→ Work area, pick up trash as needed, be nice to the cat
6. Seating Storage→ Stacked black chairs, these are heavy so use at least two people to move them, the bar is occasionally stored here.

The Yard

The Yard is where the Resident Artists trailer is behind the tall metal fence to the right of the interior of MoHA. This place is pretty chaotic so be aware. Be nice to the chickens if they are hanging out.

directly by the door are the yellow parking cones, rope and no parking signs

1. Resident Artists Trailer→ likely will not interact here but be nice to them if they are there, it’s their living space for the time being so be respectful
2. Paint Storage Area→ Spray and bucket paint is stored here, Organize by size and type, be wary of tall grass
3. Vinyl Pressing→ WIll not interact with it, say hello if you see anyone
4. General Yard→ Storage of non weather sensitive materials and structures, be wary of stray objects and tall grass
