Ron Miriello, of Barrio Logan based branding firm Miriello Grafico, is launching his 100 Worlds Project with a proper opening February 18, 2011 at Jett Gallery in Little Italy (San Diego). The exhibition features 100 globes sculpted meticulously from salvaged and unexpected materials.

Ron describes his motivation: To me, the globe is more than a metaphor for the world, it’s a metaphor for collaboration. What began as a project of using found objects around me to construct the first piece, grew into a series. The series grew as I invited people to participate and contribute to create more globes. It’s been a magnet for creative collaboration with clients, craftsmen, photographers and designers…all who have become a part of the 100 Worlds project creative community.

We’re looking forward to perusing the results of this collaborative craftsmanship. The exhibition will be up through March 26, 2010.

A big thanks to Miriello Grafico for hosting Set & Drift as we prepare for the Thread Show this weekend. MG was kind enough to provide space in The Logan warehouse to stage our Native Curiosities installation this week.

Here’s a glimpse at the staging that began on Saturday…

In addition to housing Miriello Grafico’s design studio and LJG, The Logan will soon be home to video production company DV creations, rounding out a strategic partnership anchored in Barrio Logan that forms an incredibly capable creative powerhouse.
