Documenting the construction or destruction of a building is an interesting process. Both involve a lot of planning, but there’s also an opportunity to be creative. Case in point, Mississippi Studios is in the midst of a huge renovation and expansion project.
As the project moves forward, they are inviting local bands to perform amongst the wreckage and are posting the videos on Razing Mississippi.
This process reminded me of what’s been done in the Burn to Shine series, which started in DC, and has traveled across the country, including Portland, to show area bands performing in structures that will be destroyed at the end of that day.
The estimated venue opening date is March 2009, but in the meantime, check out some of the great artists who call Portland home.
