Storefront for Art and Architecture狭窄的画廊空间已经利用了其在曼哈顿SoHo的活跃的行人社区。它的拼图式外墙开口(由Acconci/Holl 1993年设计)将这一环境与画廊的内部联系起来。

Storefront for Art and Architecture’s narrow gallery space already takes advantage of its actively pedestrian neighborhood in SoHo, Manhattan. Its puzzle-piece-shaped facade openings (by Acconci/Holl 1993) connect this context with the gallery’s interior.

Storefront for Storefront是一个多阶段的装置,它否认了这种联系(暂时的),然后又试图加强这种联系。在第一阶段,现有的店面被看似普通的建筑栅栏完全覆盖。相对于整个城市中无处不在的其他建筑围栏,它似乎很正常。

Storefront for Storefront is a multi-staged installation that denies this connection (temporarily), before attempting to later heighten it. In the first stage, the existing Storefront is covered completely by what appears to be a common construction fence. It seems normal relative to the ubiquity of other construction fences throughout the city.

画廊看起来是封闭的。唯一能说明问题的是,每一个 “需要 “的开孔都有反光框,让路人在一瞬间迷惑地看到(现在的内部)画廊的外墙,而且很零碎。新的墙面离旧的墙面有几英尺远,使画廊在人行道上的空间增加了一倍,用于展出正在进行的工作。

The gallery looks closed. The only tell is that each of the “required” apertures have reflective frames, giving passers-by a momentary confused and fragmented glimpse of the (now inner) gallery facade. The new wall, set several feet off the old, doubles the amount of gallery space out-and-onto the sidewalk for the exhibition Work-in-Progress.

Naho Kabuto的照片记录了整个城市流行的建筑围栏。在展览过程中,栅栏脱落了它的绿色胶合板的钝面,到最后完全暴露出它的镜面钉。其结果是一个奇特的内容和背景的双重化….,一个临时的店面的店面。

Photographs of Naho Kabuto document the construction fence epidemic throughout the city. Over the course of the exhibition, the fence sheds its blunt green plywood face, entirely exposing its mirrored studs by the end. The result is a peculiar doubling of content and context…. a temporary Storefront for Storefront.
