very excited to see the reincarnation of the once-garrish mtv house. while a somewhat traditional white cube gallery, the historic elements of the former church (like marble mouldings and crystal chandelier) offset and enrich an otherwise spartan interior. further, these transitional bits also play on the work displayed, creating an interesting dialogue between space and subject.
hmm... i'm not sure the space is presently too large-scale, however. perhaps the addition of sculptural works, seating, or even a mock-foyer could help scale it down?
of course, the current exhibition is fantastic still. make sure to check out dustin kemper's work on the second floor- really something else, that.
previous post, pre-renovation- includes info on f.u.el., the church, more pics, etc.
