This was truly a work of art.
Firstly, it was so immersive - everything was modeled beautifully. The gallery text itself makes very poignant points not only about exclusionary design but also the role of the gallery and institutions in providing spaces of contemplation as well as the politics of art such as minimalism being a marker of class and wealth. In its extremely realistic rendition of a "white cube" space, this work makes you think about the grandeur and authoritative voice as well as the contradictions and ironies of such minimal, white and clean spaces.
Finally, I did not realise until the end the aspect ratio was meant to mimic a bench! In fact I think it makes a very poignant irony that mirrors the discussion on exclusionary design: that the claustrophic aspect ratio which hinders on accessibility and visibility was chosen for "art" and sculptural reasons; it is an example of form over function itself.
