Benedick, or Else is a collaborative exhibition at 80 Washington Square East by artist Dora Budor and scenographer Andromache Chalfant. Encompassing all five spaces of the gallery, the show consists of a series of built environments that explore the history of the building as a nineteenth century artist’s residence, as well as an emerging space for contemporary art in the 1970s. Using scenographic tools Budor and Chalfant reconfigure the space of the gallery, creating a live set that responds to its temporary inhabitants.
