Open Satellite

Illustrated essay by Molly Norris

We provide a visual guide to a new kind of exhibition space, designed by art stars Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo of Lead Pencil Studio. Developer John Su has raised the bar on support for contemporary art: he provides a twenty-first-floor apartment, where artists live while they create work to show in the space downstairs.
