The gallery was filled with a series of double ply stretched nets. The stretched form defined the volume of the room. The nets started just below the ceiling and just above the floor. Each net volume was inset 2’ from the walls of the space.This defined the volume of the room. This is the second version of this project, its first incarnation was in Poland in summer ‘97.

View of secondary gallery with model. Hinged sides are open and top of crate is leaning against wall. The model is of the net volume project - a means to show its inherent adjustability. The nets can be configured to mimic the volume of any space.
