After heat sealing each individual Polaroid in a protective plastic sleeve we started measuring for placement along the white walls.

The plan is to cover the entire gallery with Polaroids from floor to ceiling. With over 3,500 submitted Polaroids from around the world... we're going to need more walls.

The opening reception of INSTANT GRATIFICATION: a polaroid party is scheduled for 7:00 PM on Friday August 7th, 2009 at the Hibbleton Gallery in Fullerton, California.
