Photo: Lucas Museum Gallery
Mellody Hobson's Instagram account has posted a photo of a gallery interior at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. This is notable, as I'm not aware of any previous photos (or even renderings) of Ma Yansong's gallery spaces. As shown here, the ceiling exposes beams, ducts, and radially arrayed track light rails, all painted off white to match the gallery walls. The free-standing wall at right appears to be slightly curved at its left end. The floors are a checkerboard parquet. The framed artwork is by French street artist JR, documenting t he 70-ft-tall cut-out of a Mexican toddler that he installed at the border wall in Tecate, Mexico, in 2018. Hobson's post has drawn comments from Kaws, Ava DuVernay, and Monica Lewinsky.
