Abstract
Abstract Opening in SoHo in 1968, the Paula Cooper Gallery defied conventional expectations. Situated in a renovated industrial loft, at the time a new typology of exhibition space, the gallery was from its inception more than just a site for the large-scale minimalist production that Cooper championed. It also housed a range of experimental, ephemeral activities, including poetry readings, dance and musical performances, and community-based events. Extending some of the practices that Cooper honed during her tenure as director of Park Place, the Paula Cooper Gallery broadened the definition of a commercial art gallery. In its early years, it served as a precursor to alternative art venues of the early 1970s, providing a contextual framing for the work on view, and initiating a participatory and dynamic art space.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
