For its part, the Deutsche Bank Lobby Gallery in Midtown Manhattan is currently showing the exhibition Dreamspaces/Entresuenos (more here). Situated between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, the twenty-nine-story building of Deutsche Bank is accessible from 52nd and 53rd streets. Many pedestrians use the passageway as a welcome shortcut set off from the noise of the street. In addition, there are the approximately 3,500 employees passing through the rattling turnstiles in the entrance area each day, signalling the beginning of the working day, lunch break, and quitting time. In the face of this bustling activity, one could safely say that The Lobby Gallery, situated as it is in such an exposed place, regularly receives more visitors than New York's largest museums. In the final analysis, it can be assumed that every employee, passerby, guest, or client takes a look at the works exhibited, just as the numerous art enthusiasts in The Lobby Gallery of Deutsche Bank do. And with Dreamspaces/Entresuenos, taking a closer look is well worthwhile. Guest curator Holly Block is presenting over twenty works by twelve Latin American artists who live and work in the United States. Dreamspaces are the blueprints of an imagined architecture, visions of interior and exterior spaces, surreal landscapes of the imagination.
