Gallery Template is an installation that transposes the web template inside the wire frame of the gallery space, and vice versa. It is a visual representation of our current template culture. The invitation to “insert your content here” is present in every aspect of contemporary life – from the white walls of a museum to the #ffffff background of a microblog.

Q1:

Is the gallery the template? Or the exhibition? Does that make the work the content?

Q2:

Maybe the museum is a also a collection of templates?

The building wireframe

The space

The exhibition

The website

The catalogue

The advertisement

The typography on the walls

Preparing your exhibition:

"Visit the exhibition site in advance. Draw a diagram of the exhibit space with approximate dimensions of each wall area. Will horizontals fit, or will a vertical format work better? What groupings might be interesting? What are the walls made of: wood, plaster, concrete? Are there permanent hooks installed or must you provide your own?" (http://www.brandeis.edu/arts/)

New, simpler plan:

1. Analyse the gallery, the exhibition as a template.

2. Expose the gallery template using other existing templates; the web template.
