Thanks to the artist, and all who came out to meet u at the mid-exhibition celebration on Saturday, November 15, 6–8pm. Thanks also to the people of People for hosting us for lunch the next day.

And, thanks to everyone who visited in November, with a special thanks to Emily Hermant's SCLP 310 class, Thinking and Making Through Sculpture, for visiting in early November.

According to u, "u is part artist, part arena," and "a transferable personal alias and a social space for collaboration"—a project, and, as u's, a project space, that has invited artists to collaborate in and on project spaces since 2019.

Starting as the letter "u" in the word "Current" on the website of 67 Steps, Los Angeles, after that project ended (2017–2018), u's was a project space in Calgary (2019–2020), and u's hut is now under construction in Diamond Valley, Alberta, while u has organized exhibitions in various off-site locations across Foothills County and rural Alberta (since 2020).

u has also organized or taken part in exhibitions and artists' projects in Portland, Calgary, London, Toronto, Los Angeles, Warsaw, and Montreal, and u's project spaces have been exhibited at Centre Village Mall, Lethbridge, an off-site project for The Southern Alberta Art Gallery / Maansiksikaitsitapiitsinikssin (project spaces, 2022–2023), and at Backrooms, organized by Otto Bonnen for Kunsthalle Zürich (new project spaces, 2024), with a publication to complete the former exhibition (in 2024).
