Suggested rules of storage:
- Stack big on bottom, small on top
- Keep organized by what looks alike to the best of your ability
- DO NOT step on the silver air duct ventilation, things will not be fun for anyone
- Never load anything down or up without help. It's heavy and we want you to be safe
There are 4 areas of storage:
- Plywood, plastic sheets, composite board sheets, PVC Ppiping, 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)
- Assorted Materials→ No specific distinction as to what this is, you will likely not interact with this
- Rolled Paper and other rolled materials stored in the rafters
- Props / Material Archive → Miscellaneous materials and props from past shows
- Ben’s Studio
Outside (near porta potties)
This space is often the most used by visitors to the venue area. Storage is as follows.
- Benches→ Keep covered with large tarps to avoid water damage, heavy so use at least two hands to move them
- Porta Potties→ cleaned weekly (by outside company), keep lights taped up, pick up trash in/around if necessary
- Outside Storage Area→ Platforms, other tables, mini bars, excess wood. These are heavy so use at least two people to move these structures
- 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.
- 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
- Cage Match→ installed by its own group, you will likely not interact with this other than plug it into an outlet or something similar
- 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
- Behind the Mall→ Storage/Work area, be wary of bugs and pick up trash as needed
- Gravel Pit→ Work area, pick up trash as needed, be nice to the cat
- 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.

- 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
