The impression one gets of what is perceived as fitting for the contemporary art is a space that is constituted by the choice of colours ñ yellow, orange, red ñ of the façade. It is bright, daring and unconventional. Then the industrial materials comprising the corrugated metal roofs of triangular shapes, that serve to subvert the otherwise staid grid of floor levels and courtyard, and the concrete screed floors imply that the artworks will sit comfortably in this setting; and that they are also industrial and raw (read as edgy and bold and experimental). It also does tell future visitors that this space is not elite, that it is accessible, cut across all classes and age. And despite its more inclusive veneer, veers more towards the youths and the old and its association with convention.
