Nate Page
Instituted Angles of Path and Display
Page’s work challenges the ultra-functional design of the Armory’s main
stairwell. Page has removed one of the stairwell’s two large metal
handrails, turned it 90 degrees, and mounted it in the middle of the
space on a pedestal-like structure that follows the crooked trajectory
of the stairs and the landing.
