I am feeling as elated seeing this image on my feed as I’m terrified. My heart is beating faster as I wonder what Paul will think of this. Feels like this project is doing exactly what it was intended to do, but I wasn’t quite prepared for what it would look like in real life. But that’s what art is all about.
Hi everyone! This is a new account I’ve started with catskillwaters exploring connections between art and nature. Think of it as Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy, without Jack Handy, deadly serious and only about art and nature. Now you got it! #cvictorforcatskillwaters #artandnature
Today I overheard the first tree murmur that it’s been a long summer and maybe a rest would feel good. #autumniscoming #cvforcatskillwaters

Scouting potential spots for site specific work for Catskill Waters. I love this place, X marks the spot, and yes, the pay phone works. #cvforcatskillwaters #catskillwaters #chrisvictor #sculpture #installationart #contemporaryart #fineart
It’s official! @ceevictor is starting a site-specific installation at this gun and convenience store located near Blue Hole in Peekamoose mountain. Our reception is on July 20. Stay tuned.

Owner Paul Hnatiw tells us—his store is the only gun AND convenience store in the county. The name of the store, 3 Goldens, refers to Golden Retrievers he used to breed. He no longer does that professionally but he still has his own dogs.
We had a great opening! Friends drove long miles to join local Sundown residents for a lively conversation and relaxed afternoon in the heart of the Catskills. Sponsored by @nycheadwaters
Chris showing his sketch to Paul. I had no idea how he would respond to our idea. Politically he is conservative and a gun rights advocate, with some strong opinions that would place him at the opposite end from positions found in typical supporters of contemporary art. But Paul got right onboard!
This is Paul, owner of the 3 Goldens Convenience Store in Sundown, NY. #sitespecificart #catskillwaters #cvforcatskillwaters #mixedmediaart #chrisvictor #sculpture #contemporaryart #fineart
Conceptual sketch for his installation by Chris Victor. In this version he uses cinder blocks and water bottles as main components, but anything can change...

Chris, Paul, and his pooch discussing the installation of Chris’s kinetic work. He’ll be making it onsite, in between the payphone (still works!) and coke machine.
