BLACK CUBE CLASS, L-SPACE GALLERY
Students took over L-Space Gallery for a Summer turning it into an impromptu design studio, workshop, and community engagement hub. Playing off the notion of the white cube gallery space and the black cube of theatrical sets, this project mingles the performative, design, pedagogical, and curatorial fields. The gallery as a space of representation is re-puroposed to become a creative space of production and community engagement. Students chose to create a box coated in blackboard paint so that the exterior is used for working out ideas and details. The interior of the box includes furniture and a large table for gathering. The project gives the impression of entering into a blackboard, becoming part of its palimpsest.
