2008. Embroidery on found papers, rusted metal can, wooden box, two coated metal hairpins. Dimensions variable.
If you're not familiar with or haven't been to the Hard Rock in Vegas, Rehab is the name of their all-star summer pool party that happens every weekend. Tickets are difficult to acquire (so we hear), and even getting a room at the hotel doesn't always ensure entrance. When we went to Las Vegas last spring, they were just ramping up for the opening that coming weekend which, sadly, we missed.
