Cardboard Institute of Technology (CIT), a team of Bay Area artists, is the driving force behind Cardburg. Established in 2007 by sculptor artist Joshua Short, CIT uses recycled cardboard and found materials to build enormous, site-specific installations that immerse audiences in a fantastic and entertaining world. Cardburg is a new work commissioned especially for the Bedford Gallery and CIT ups the ante with a low-powered micro radio station, live performances, broadcast events, video feeds and in-car cameras. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines, and join us for this outrageous, high-octane display of twists and turns! Do not miss this one-time show!

Bedford Curator Carrie Lederer comments that, "CIT projects always incorporate aspects of the world we live in-from pop culture, history and myth to contemporary life. The artists are entrepreneurial in spirit, and bring an array of skills and talents to their projects, using high-tech/low-tech hybrids as a motto for construction. Each installation is a unique, humorous and thoughtful statement about our local and global community, and our attraction to large-scale, exhilarating public events."
