CANADA is a gallery on the Lower East Side. With this project we had the opportunity to expand the relationship between art and architecture into a discussion about cultural production and space.
The gallerists’ ambivalence towards the structures of a commercial gallery (the gallery as a white box) was one of the main criteria of the design process. As such the operation of a gallery was reconsidered; what happens when the operations of an art gallery are exposed to the public; when the space of display bleeds into the space of work, where the display of operations becomes as important as the display of art.
