Open a permanent hole, Intervention, July 2015

Drill a hole in the wall, connecting the inside of the museum with the street.

The collective exhibition “Species of spaces” sets an itinerary through a series of works representing different kinds of spaces, organized in two exhibition halls according to the categories of public spaces and private spaces.

I propose an intervention outside the exhibition space. In dialog with the institution’s different departments, we defined the technical characteristics of the hole (exact location and dimensions), the maintenance protocol, and its permanency.

Museum’s plan with the location of the hole.
