About the Program

Alexandre David's Some Room is an exhibition consisting of an architectural space split in two. It is based on the differences in how one moves and how one sees that each space elicits. In a way, this is similar to what we experience every time we walk on the street and look through a window or walk into a building and look at the ceiling. Our everyday architectural sensations are a necessary background for his work in sculpture. David does not reference architecture as a subject but makes work that relies on the way that we walk through doorways with ease, walk alongside walls, turn corners, and sit on benches, for example. He works with standard heights of ceilings, tables, benches, and steps. For this project, the grunt gallery space was reorganized for the duration of the exhibition in a way that combines a very clear architectural experience with the sensibility that this is just one possible architectural intervention, or thought, among many.
