  Opening night at a fine art gallery is a highly stressful, heavily choreographed performance that begins long before the first collector arrives with a glass of champagne. The transition from a chaotic installation zone into a pristine, silent temple of culture requires a logistical miracle. Up until the very last hour, the space is a hardhat zone.
