The first installation of the On Chapels, Caves, and Erotic Misery series by Christian Tomaszwaski was a result of an invitation to display not only the previous sculptural pieces created by Tomaszwaski, but also to stage an intervention within the gallery space itself. My involvement with the project was as an architectural design consultant responsible for the design and fabrication strategies. The design of the space was inspired equally by David Lynch’s Blue Velvet, which the sculptural elements were recreated from, and Kurt Schwitters’s Merzbau.
