The (Taco) Bell



Eric Wesley transforms what was formerly known as a Taco Bell restaurant into a gallery space that holds his exhibition "The Bell." This piece is installed in four phases. Shown above is "Phase 2." In this addition there are steel ductwork sculpture suspended from the ceiling as well as color tinted glass and wood panels. These additions reflect what might be seen in the restaurant setting. This exhibitions criticizes the institution simply by its location. He is making the statement that it is not necessary to place artwork in a traditional gallery.
