Description

A pet peeve of contemporary art is to use darkened space to rob its viewers of all familiar points of reference. In the "white cube" of the museum, the "black box" appears like a magic space teaching viewers to see and hear things anew, forcing them to perceive that which is offered in full concentration; thus, the darkened space becomes the space of an existential experience.
