“ANTONAKOS: THE ROOM CHAPEL”
ALLENTOWN ART MUSEUM,
31 NORTH FIFTH STREET, ALLENTOWN, PA

“The Room Chapel” has been beautifully reconstructed within the galleries of the Allentown Art Museum. It will remain on view there through September 2020. One of Antonakos’s most evocative Meditation Chapels, it is defined by its proportions, its three Neon Panels, and its unusual doorway, which recalls the spirit of ancient architecture.

In 1996, for the original presentation at the Art Institute of Boston, Antonakos wrote,

“It is a place for contemplation
in an atmosphere of openness…
where geometry, light, and space can be
seen and experienced for themselves.”
