Abstract
This manual is an investigation and a search for meaning within a gallery space. The essence of my practice as an artist is the research I do within the exhibition space prior to making or installing an artwork. By participating in the creation and the management of 1612 Gallery, I have been studying and reflecting on all aspects of that space as a gallery: researching its history, location and functionality and by observation I have seen how different artists respond to this gallery space. My research has included looking at the history of art galleries through catalogues and fieldwork, as well as studying the writings of art historians, curators and artists as they consider the gallery as a space for exhibiting art. The 1612 Gallery, Emily Carr University Graduate students studios and gallery located at 1612 West 3rd in Vancouver, British Columbia, functions as my case study and is also used as a comparative tool in my understanding of the nature of “the white cube” gallery space. My research question focuses on how the gallery and exhibition space influences the work on display and how, by placing an artwork within a certain space a specific meaning is created. My method was to place myself in the centre of the investigation, where I took on the roles of the carpenter, cleaner, facilitator, artist, curator and exhibition maker. My purpose was to better understand the role of the artist and the curator, complete with the obligations, and the tasks that comes with these roles, and to better understand how a space; with its white walls, its ideology, and its dialogue becomes an art gallery. My thesis artwork will be a final site-specific sculpture based on these reflections.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
