This was Urban Studio's first exhibition, in collaboration with Studio 2. Eight artists were featured: Kelvin Abrego, IlonaChuzhmir, Gloria Eng, Scott Massey, Kenneth Park, Apirat Sangjit, Melissa Starke and Namie Tanaguchi. Curated by Richard Pitts, Suikang Zhao and Dawn Notaro, the show examined the process of ideation and ways of engaging the audience in that process. The show began with the postcard invitation, which asked recipients to transform their pieces and bring them back the gallery, where the resultant works formed a collective installation. By doing so, the audience became part of Urban Studio in the creation of art. Other works in various media continued this theme and were documented.
