Law and Justice — Eight young apprentice artists from Working Classroom collaborated with eight volunteer attorneys for a six-week project exploring the ways in which law and justice intersect and diverge. This resulted in three site-specific installations currently showing at the Public Defender’s Office (505 Central NW), the District Attorney’s Office (520 Lomas NW) and the County Courthouse (400 Lomas NW). The installations will remain on display through April 14. 242-9267, www.workingclassroom.org.

Correction—Last week, we ran an article about local artist Chad Person's quixotic attempt to construct a hot air balloon in the shape of an atomic bomb. After we went to press, we learned that veteran balloonist Scott Appelman had withdrawn his offer to pilot Person's proposed craft. That means he's still looking for a pilot and, hopefully, someone to donate a crew, basket and torches. For details, go to buildthebomb.com.
