From September 22 to October 1, as they walk to and from class, students and professors at the Architecture School will witness an interesting abstract composition unfolding on the East Gallery Wall. Rather than painting the wall, students in Professor Sanda Iliescu’s Painting & Public Art class will “unpaint” it through a series of carefully choreographed transitional paintings. Executed every day over the span of the 12–day project, these “un–paintings” will celebrate the highly traveled, busy gallery space and afford a visually stimulating transition as the now–yellow wall is drained of its color and returned to its normal white state.
