pubs.rights-statement	As any other creative discipline, architecture is subjected to a regime of originality. Yet, operations that have in common the recourse to already produced forms — well-known critical tools in a wide range of artistic productions — still remain unabsorbed and even taboo. While imitation and reproduction are the obvious roots of the last twenty, if not the last six hundred-years’ excess of architectural shapes, the field has resisted the open embrace of copies and in so doing, it has hindered its potential. To intentionally copy entails a reformulation of architectural imagination: it allows for a radical renunciation of form-making—since form is defined a priori—to focus on architectural knowledge yet to be discovered. Night Curtain by Rey Akdogan Edited copied the architectural elements of the piece ‘Night Curtain’ which included a schedule of opening hours that defined the general light conditions in the gallery, a description of the original work that appeared in the New York Times and a lighting feature that rhythmically changed the amount of artificial light in the gallery. Inscribed in the history of appropriation art, Night Curtain by Rey Akdogan Edited appropriated the environmental conditions that defined the previous work rather than the work itself.	en_US
