"In this smartphone and media-saturated environment we live in, it seems like there's no time or space for non-productivity. What does it mean to wait anymore? That's what Emmett Ramstad explores in this full-on installation/gallery takeover, where he examines times of waiting: Your mouth open at the dentist, waiting; sitting on the toilet while also checking email, waiting; stopped at a light and texting, but also waiting. he upstairs space is transformed into a waiting room, which includes a ceiling, sunrise calendar and a room of tissue boxes. But wait: Why aren't you waiting for nothing to happen?"
