OSWall (Open Source Wall) will be shown at the Muscarelle Museum of Art  at the College of William and Mary as part of the exhibition titled "Envelop{e}s: Architect's Unfinished Experiments with Building 'Skins'". It will open on September 18th and will run through October 31st. This collection of full-scale, experimental constructs and material assemblies was curated by Christopher Hight, Associate Professor at Rice University, and originally appeared at the Pratt Manhattan Gallery.

Blair will be a juror for the upcoming international design competition REPEAT, presented by TEX-FAB. The competition is open to all and the winning entry will be built, exhibited and subsequently given to the Winner. The design and fabrication of the piece will be paid for in full by TEX-FAB and installed to coincide with the TEX-FAB exhibition REPEAT, in February 2011. TEX-FAB is run by Andrew Vrana (Houston), Brad Bell (Dallas/Fort Worth), and Kevin Patrick McClellan (San Antonio). All three are professors and practitioners and all three do outstanding work in both practice and academia.
