"Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Rudolf Stingel have exposed the space, laid it open to its own grandeur. A bead-curtain divides the room in two, soft black wall-to-wall carpeting in several dark rooms, and finally another bead-curtain and - light. The architecture is left undisturbed, silent, retaining its original dimensions and specific quality of light, which is darkness. Rather than realize their own ideas in an alien architectural space, Stingel and Gonzalez-Torres have decided to keep intact the existing spaces in the void around them, the idea which created these spaces, linked them together and finally decorated them. Nothing has been replaced, and everything superfluous removed. The history of the room now becomes its religious dimension, everything secular remains outside, while room is made inside to accommodate nothingness and create a void where every spiritual dimension can be reflected." extract from the text by Francesco Bonami
