PERCEIVED SPACE

One: 

The cylinder is an unbroken space within an airspace that already exists. The cylinder slips through door frames encompassing pieces of two seperate gallery spaces and an external hallway. Though typically separate spaces, the cylinder links them together, creating one continuous, private, yet well connected, open space.

Two:

The bench is a continuous volume, intersecting walls and dividing rooms, yet simultaneously suggesting not smaller bisected spaces, but one larger, continuous space. The volume then continues up into the ceiling, as a playful suggestion to infinity.

Three: 

With a clear beginning and end, the line wanders in and out of the building, across streets, and back. The line creates a space outside of the gallery, both as a quiet invitation to those walking by, and a suggestion of scale. The line leaves the gallery, expressing a probability of a space beyond the gallery’s walls.

These three elements have been specifically laid out within the gallery as a representation of Rion Philbin's ongoing works with collage. Each element has its own individual identity, that responds to its neighboring element and the existing walls in which encompass the collage. The collage is also meant to call attention to the empty space, revealing a relationship between not only the three elements of collage, but the spaces and negative space in which those relationships create.
