An experimental museum installation developed by a team of artists, an architect, and museum professionals to increase awareness of the ways in which Buddhist philosophy can inform Western practices of art production, education, presentation, and reception.

​

The central architectural form of the installation suggest Japanese Buddhist temple and rock garden forms, with a verandah-like platform that invites the visitor to linger in a liminal space: between inside and outside.  The large wooden verandah is situated within an otherwise darkened gallery space, slightly raised off the floor, and forming two joined mirror-image rectangles.  Each verandah half will surround a sunken “garden.”
