Mobius Artists Group has a new home in the ArtBlock development (artblock.net), "initiated by the Boston Redevelopment Authority and developed by New Atlantic Development) comprising the Joshua Bates Art Center and newly constructed artist live-work spaces and condominiums." Mobius was founded by artist Marilyn Arsem in 1977, a compatriot in the national alternative artspace network. In those days, my live-work space, an empty warehouse on the 5th floor of the Victor Building in downtown L.A., shared with three others, rented at $500 a month for 8,000 sq. ft. Don't know what Mobius is paying, but here's the description of Artblock from its Web site: "A vibrant and creative community of the arts, featuring lofts and townhomes within the South End of Boston. Priced from the low $500’s." That would be the $500,000s. Here's the dope on one of the currently available lofts, 1,116 sq. ft., $589,000, with a $296 monthly condo fee: "This private address East Newton Street home is flooded with light by two south facing 17’ x 10’ energy efficient windows. Thoroughly modern finishes include espresso cabinets, Giallo granite, stainless steel appliances and bamboo hardwood flooring. The first floor features a gourmet kitchen, convenient half bath, open layout and dramatic 18 foot atrium. A master bedroom, huge master closet, fully tiled bathroom with two entrances and a loft area round out the second floor. All this in an elevator building steps from all the South End has to offer. Garage parking is available."
