Hi Irene, I was wondering if that will be suitable for you only. I meant by the amount of description which you have given if that should be okay. If so I can go ahead by talking about it on the following day 17/10.

Thank you,

Chelsea Art Museum Facade Lighting
M S W(Mader Stublic Wiermann) from Berlin/Germany designed a new skin facade for the Chelsea Art Museum in New York/USA.
1.It features a skin layer made of LED rods that is offset away from the original facade of the museum.
A layer of vertical LED-rods are installed on the façade of the Chelsea Art Museum, with a gap in between the building and the new structure.
2.The installation will feature abstract images moving across the building, at times even appearing to extend the structure of the Museum beyond its actual size. The gap left between the original building and the new façade structure respects the integrity of the building, while manipulating its appearance depending on the installation’s programming and the viewers position.
3!!!
Most importantly, the new facade does not replace the existing one, rather, it plays with its surface and volume. Consequently, art, normally contained within a museum, will step beyond the confines of the building to interact with the city and its inhabitants. The new architectonic volume of the building will strengthen Chelsea Art Museum’s presence in the Manhattan cityscape.

Current Disturbance By Mona Hatoum 

Current disturbance was made by Mona Hatoum, in 1996 as a body of work based around perceptually and psychologically de-stabilizing the space. The other pieces of work included where Light Sentence 1992, Short space 1992, The Light At The End 1989, and Socle du monde 1991. 

I saw the piece in march 2011 at White Chapel Gallery,  as part of the showing of the D. Daskalopoulos Collection, in an exhibition Called Keeping It Real. All the pieces within the exibition where taken from the collection owned by Dimitris Daskalopoulos. The Collection has over 400 pieces of international artwork.  

The installation was made up simply from wood, wire mesh, light bulbs and electrical wire, the simplicity of the sturture was created to create a more dramatic effect. Hatoum used 228 cages to create a four walled structure, each cage containing a single light bulb which is individually wired to the junction box which is in the centre of the installation. The sound of the current flowing through each individual wire from the junction box to the light bulb has been amplified so that the 60 cycle hum is intensified, this alongside the illuminating lights creates an intense experience, where you cannot help but be drawn in.

The installation was originally seen first in San Francisco where it was associated with prison but Hatoum said in an interview about the pieces debut at Whitechapel“People will read something more into it about cities, perhaps." . The piece is based around urban architecture and surveillance; she described the underlineing message as “It's part of a body of work looking at council flats and architecture as prison – basically, architecture as control.” When she moved from lebanon to london she felt as if she was trapped and constantly being watched, desribing london as "Big Brother-Land".

DEFENESTRATION -San Francisco, since 1997-present
Brian Goggin

Defenestration: To throw out of a window

Abandoned four-story building in a neighborhood that historically has faced economic challenges and endured the stigma of skid row status.

Everyday objects flood out of the window like escapees out onto available ledges.

Simple, unpretentious beauty and humanity of the falling objects: similarity with the Cuming Museum objects coming out of the archives.

Throwing out becomes an uplifting gesture of release: an inviting reflection on the spirit of the people that live in the community, the objects they encounter and the places they live in.
