    February 04, 2006 — May 14, 2006
    This exhibition presented an array of artistic explorations of vacant spaces. When rooms are emptied of people, are they haunted by our absence? Can they ever be neutral sites devoid of meaning? Drawn from the Henry’s Monsen Collection of Photography, works by Andre Kertesz, Gordon Matta-Clark, Robert Lyons, and others were on view.
