WE GOT EVICTED - Moving & Building a New Studio from the Ground Up - Episode 1

In our last video about our studio at 888 Dupont Street, everyone in the building had just had their lease terminated by condo developers. It left all of us scrambling to find studios and workspaces - this is a video about No Fun® trying to make it work!
It's taken me nearly 2 and a half years to get this video edited- partially just because of the huge amount of footage I had to sift through, but mainly because this experience was probably the most tiring, stressful, and financially taxing thing I've ever gone though in my life.
Pardon the longwinded voiceover - it's hard to sum up a year's worth of time in 20 minutes. A lot happened!
I think I had blocked out a lot of how bad this all was but making this video has been a great way to process a lot of these crappy experiences- Hopefully it's history now! I've really just been trying to recover from the burnout I'm feeling from it all.
In this video, I show the process of building a whole new workshop space, including sealing and protecting a new concrete floor - all while trying to vacate the premises at my old building on time.
In the Episode 2, I'm gonna build a table, try to finish moving in, and then move out completely instead - onwards to yet another new work space.
Stay tuned for more No Fun® studio projects, rug making videos, and of course, more of this Move & Build series, since this first space treated us so poorly.

I don't feel so alone anymore, on the other side of the world independent designers and artists have the same problems that I have in my country. Good luck in this new stage guys, greetings from Chile.

[@NoFunStudio]

Glad to hear we're not alone with these issues here either!

[@JacobGoulden]

Great job on the vid. Looking forward to more. Love from Halifax

[@NoFunStudio]

Thanks dude, definitely more to come! We shot more footage on the next move than we did this time around 😅

[@TIMDFILM]

Man triggered all those feelings of studios I’ve had to move out of. Unfortunately artist spaces are temporary like graffiti, but grateful for all the experiences I’ve had in spaces like yours.

[@NoFunStudio]

You're so right! The reason we'd landed at the studio we were evicted from in this video was because the building we were in before that also evicted all the tenants to turn the building into condo units. Toronto's getting worse and worse, but I'm grateful for the good spaces while they lasted.

[@kathyt416]

Oh man, I always wanted to live in that building. I drove by it so much over the years, it's a shame how everything ends this way lately in TO

[@NoFunStudio]

It was good while it lasted!!

[@thingeeeeeee]
