A room like any other is entered from the street amidst some commemoration. This ambient looking back inflects the space with memory and misconception, like the extension of the wrong wall reconfiguring the layout closer to itself two decades ago. In this misremembered room is a phantom crowd that gathered to greet a novel new building. “Transparent, open, flexible, crowded, user friendly” (2018) — the structure they celebrate is a response to prior demands. The echo loops from beyond a Screen Adaptation (2018)[ed. 1 of 3] that compresses the entrance. A second edition filters an excerpt of coded lighting, In Lieu of a View (2017). Components 12-26 of 48, only apparent as a diffuse cloudscape of hues, substitute the recent scene of food trucks and tech workers outside. With daylight, the plane illuminates an interior Redevelopment Zone (2018). Previously such carpeted areas have served as a ground for reconsidering past narratives. Here the zone hosts a “De-commissioned Cuba Libre Assembly Line” (2018). |
