statement:
My open air gallery was made for the art work of Brian Jungen: the piece is called Prototype for New Understanding. It is created only by Nike Jordan shoes and Brian Jungen turned this shoes into Indian masks. So to keep the characteristics of the Indians, I try to make the gallery that is suitable and represent-able for Indians. For example, in order to see the art work, people need to go deep into the art gallery. People can see the space from outside or from the overhead walkway however they can not see what’s inside. One reason of this is to evoke people’s curiosity and second reason is in these century Indians are more hiding from us and they are living in the place far from us. This fact also made the gallery to be isolated and placed beside the trees. Moreover, I wanted to give people some relaxation. In the downtown, I found out that people are busy and they are getting stress from working. So I try to make a place where people can relax and get rid of any stress while they are in the gallery. So this is one of the other reasons that I isolated the gallery from the path. Also in the gallery there are seats that they can rest. This gallery would be placed in front of Nathan Philips square.
