After a year of scavenging for reclaimed wood and stock-piling all sorts of collectibles, Wes Bruce built forts all over San Diego County. From gulleys and sewers to galleries and museums, Wes' experiential structures moved everyone who spent a moment or the night under their patched roof. Film-maker Bryan Bangerter followed Wes for the better half of 2010, and has edited down a forty-five minute documentary primarily focusing on Wes' giant fort installation at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido. The film will premiere this Wednesday at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park accompanied by a site specific installation built by Wes in MoPA's atrium and live music by Joel P West. You can reserve your ticket for the screening here and RSVP on Facebook here. Should be a magical evening.
