Entry view of room created by drawing. The “drawing” is an elevation plan of the gallery space at the same scale as the space itself, 100’ x 50’ x 20’ high. It is hung from aluminum track (the track used for privacy curtains around beds in hospitals) in front of the space of which it is a drawing. It was then pushed back into the back half of the gallery space, causing a room to be created out of the drawing.

View at entrance focusing on part of the brick rubbing. The drawing was made by making a graphite rubbing of the entire space. The drawing is a literal impression of the gallery space.
