The opening of the Open Plan will be
marked by a
site - specific sound installation by Andrea Fraser, Down the River, which uses audio recordings from a correctional facility to reflect
on the parallel booms in museum and prison
construction in the US since the 1970s (
on view from February 26 until March 13, 2015).
Shapeshifter is also an abstraction, this time of the
marks left
on or by used sandpaper sheets, collected from building
sites around the world, representing both destruction and
construction, human labour and mechanical erasure.
