Selldorf and the curators were forced to strategically navigate the strict installation stipulations attached to each piece — and still create a dynamic space for viewing. [...]
“We wanted a very calm background,” Selldorf says. “It is the quality of the work that makes the show exciting, so rather than creating additional noise, we really focused on making spaces that were quiet and measured in such a way that the focus of attention was on the paintings.”

not sure why you would need an architect involved in hanging paintings with a professional curator - that picture is a joke - total pr stunt. not that bacon's work needs it, that dude fucking rules.
Maybe its not just a PR stunt. Did you ever consider that?
In my experience, which is extensive, curators really don't know anything about how to make the show present the experience they want to achieve. It's always a collaboration between curator, exhibit designer, and (if living) artist(s).
I stand corrected. Still not sure why this is even newsworthy tho.
