One of the
Downtown Pittsburgh's Project Pop-Up's is leaving.
Fraley's Robot Repair wasn't really a store but I loved it so much! I thought that it was such a clever art installation and will be sad to see it's space without that little, lonesome robot. Robot Repair was created by Toby Atticus Fraley and features a small shop where a robot is left to fend for himself since his owner could never be found. The installation changed often to go with holidays, day-to-day activities and other themes, always interesting and humorous. But little robot is now moving on to California ...hopefully he'll find some company there. In the meantime, here's some recent looks into the shop AND if you're nearby, check out the
going away party TONIGHT from 5:30pm - 7:30pm at the
Renaissance Hotel's Braddock's American Brasserie bar, including $4 beers and $6 cocktails and of course, photos with the robot!

I've never heard of it but it looks like such a cool place. That's too bad it won't be around anymore.
ReplyDeleteKind of a hidden gem. Will be missed.
