Gallery statement:
"The gallery’s
interior/exterior architectural design was conceived and built by designers
Marleen Kaptein and Stijn Roodnat, who question the standard white box
prototype that’s served as the paradigm and display case for practically
all Western art since the Second World War. The attitudes and scruples
that art critics typically show towards design have for more than half
a century robbed us of a real debate about the consequences and interactions
that the white box has finally represented in contemporary art - not to
mention as an inescapable context for the dynamics, positive and negative,
that such design has generated."
