oh, and the Thomson ships in the lower gallery which should not be in the building at all… the whole institution feels like it prioritizes itself, fundraising and it’s monied circle, as opposed to the art.

and, jeez… do i need to point out how insanely poorly thought out the inner courtyard is?! or, how most elements of the building are just budget versions of things he’s done before?
oh, and i’ll never forget the buckets collecting water from the leaky staircase immediately after opening!

for instance: the go7 galleries were an attempt to contemporize the work - too big boxy white gallery, tacky little cnc’d mats around the work, overly lit - this curatorial recontextualization has destroyed the experience and intent of the work… telling us more about the institution than the art.

the spaces do a real disservice to the art it is supposed to be showing (layout, flow, proportions etc…), entrance is an underwhelming mess, the central courtyard re-do is just an atrocity, the group of 7 spaces are a crime, the back end is no friend to the park… i LOVE galleries and i hate the ago.

counter dis-agreement: the “new” AGO is one of the worst art galleries i’ve ever visited (navigation, ability to show art properly, general feel etc..)… also, build quality not so good and, honestly, it just looks dumb and tacky and does nothing for the surrounding environment 🤷♂️

infuriating and insulting… especially considering the issue at hand. not long ago, those involved would have resigned in disgrace… now, they’ll be celebrated and promoted.

like, literally any second year designer could do a better job than what these major platforms roll out… the problem is the executive and managerial class (whose only skills are self advancement) that have to put there two cents in to justify there existence.
as is the case with most creative work.

i should say: well designed, law abiding tech like this with the greater good in mind could be a transportation revolution… but, personal profit motives will always outweigh the public’s safety with these people… if we give them an inch, they’ll take our life. gleefully.
