The work concerns the fact that the vast majority of art produced over the centuries is stored or displayed within works of architecture that impose largely unrelated issues of context, site and presentation. Grenier observes, ³The indeterminacy of art is uncomfortably archived, if not impounded, in a built environment.² His point of view concerns primarily constraints placed upon the artist. While New York¹s Museum of Modern Art is the only structure scrutinized here, the questions raised can be applied to other architectural encounters.
