Vito Acconci

Vito Acconci and Steven Holl, put up a long fibro-clad wall to the street enclosing the space. This wall has a series of variously shaped cutouts that spin along their horizontal and vertical axis. In the closed position, they form a wall to the street, and completely enclose the gallery space, and in the open position they open out onto the street, effectively doubling the gallery space by inhabiting the street. This is Storefront for Art and Architecture, New York City.
