Leo Villareal's work on creating a transitional space that links East and the West parts of the National Gallery of Art will definitely add more meaning to the whole travel between the East building which has grand masterpieces and the West building where contemporary artists' works are being displayed. The transition will change the state of mind of the visitors as they make their way between contemporary and classical art-works. During the time that I was at the National Gallery Art, the moving walkway was closed and I was told that the walkway's pace is being altered. My guess would be that they are altering the pace to have harmony with the LED motions.
I personally wasn't disturbed from the construction since the workers were not being loud. The only point that I want to comment on though is the fact that the artist is already showing the end-product to the visitors before the construction is finished. The brief description of the Leo's exhibition, along with a video demonstration of the whole project is just spoiling the mystery and the full experience one might go through once the set-up is finished.
