Final Project – Installation Proposition

I am proposing a series of window screens that would fit between the mullions of either a set of windows at the end of one of the studio bays or one of the sets of windows in the kitchen area. since the windows are of the same dimension, these screens can be inserted in different arrangements. As for the time frame of the setup of this installation, I intend on having them up on Monday, May 21 in the morning and they can be removed at any time this school year or this summer. The small size and temporary nature of this installation allows it to be easily mounted and dismounted. The introduction of a small fan to move a part of the screen might occur and it would be able to be turned on and off easily.
