Which might bring up a plethora of ideas, chief among them gentrification, the sustainability of building materials, or haunted houses… But here describes a mortal experience. A house is to be lived in to comfort and allow changes. A gallery, however, is deliberate, curated. For you.
And are all narratives not mortal? Architecture as an inherently temporary experience, designed to carry art may as well be art. It tells a story. We want to become immortal but the work deserves to end and so we write concluding paragraphs and moral lessons. A gallery space is made to be exited in the same way it is made to be entered. Perhaps a better question instead: Are all narratives not architectures?
Hey, that’s what I’m doing!
A gallery space is mortal
architecture, is narrative architecture, is a gently-rendered map of disparate pieces and media.
