With nonprofit public art curator Now + There, artist Liz Glynn is bringing a bit of the inside out. On display near Kenmore Square, the Boston native’s Open House includes Louis XIV-style seating modeled after William C. Whitney’s Gilded Age Manhattan ballroom, which Rosecliff architect Stanford White designed in addition to the nearby Hotel Buckminster, Boston Public Library and Symphony Hall. We crunched the numbers on Glynn’s 26-piece installation, perched on the Comm. Ave. Mall through Nov. 4.
