Coinciding with the museums centennial, it marked the final show in the institutions first hundred years. For this project Poledna used the notion of iconoclasm and its various historical contexts as a conceptual backdrop for two new works: a 35-mm film installation, co-produced with and premiering at the Renaissance Society, and a substantial alteration to the gallery space: the demolition, dismantling and removal of the gallerys ceiling structure, a steel truss grid that had horizontally bisected the double-height gallery since 1967. This catalogfeaturing a cover designed by artist Peter Downsbroughdocuments the exhibition and its installation, and in doing so celebrates a century of the Renaissance Society.
