Video Room, Reception Desk for Hallwalls
A box, a cube, that fills the space from floor to ceiling; a block of space within the space.
The cube is split: the bottom quarter is pulled out from the top -- the top remains entwined in the ceiling-beams, and suspended from the ceiling -- the bottom comes out from under and is fixed to
the floor.
The volume of space 'disappears' into light, outside, and into reflections, mirror, inside.
Now that the cube is split, its functions are split: the bottom functions as a bar, a cafe, a reception-counter and information-desk -- the top functions as a video-viewing room.
The bottom is 'open': when you stand behind the counter, behind the short wall, your face and torso are out in the open, you're seen from outside. The top is 'closed': when you stand inside, you’re (almost) private -- your feet and your legs and your ass are exposed to the public that passes by.
The box, pulled apart, becomes usable by being pulled apart further.
A section, seven feet high, is pulled out from the cube, towards the gallery entrance. The pull-out makes a doorway into both parts of the cube.
From the bottom, a section is pulled out, inside, to make a desk and chair, for the receptionist. A section is pulled out, outside, to make room for a refrigerator/sink behind the bar; this section is pulled out from, again, to make a table with seats on either side, as if at a restaurant.
From the top, sections are pulled out, outside, to make niches
within the wall inside: spaces for TV monitors on one wall and for people watching those monitors on the opposite wall. Each niche is a private viewing space, just wide enough for a person's body; the side walls of each niche is installed with speakers. One set of viewers watch one video, on one monitor, while another set of viewers watch another, on a second monitor, while a person sits alone face-to-face with his/her own-private program on a third. The mirrored walls become reflections of video, the walls 'disappear' into changing images.
