Here's another in the overly long list of projects that went unbuilt. This undulating landscape was commissioned by the Whitney Museum for its retrospective, Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe. It was part of a collaborative performance piece we developed with playwright Lars Jan that recombined material and rhetorical tropes of Buckminster Fuller’s oeuvre. Our ambition was to combine the flourish of Fuller's writings with a wild interpretation of his strategies for assembly. Unfortunately, we lost funding for the project before we could begin construction.
Abacus At The Whitney Museum
We’re working with our friend Lars Jan to design and build a site-specific performance and installation piece at the Whitney Museum as part of the upcoming retrospective Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe. The above image is kind of a teaser, but also strongly related to design ideas we’re exploring for the project. The installation opens in September, so more to come very soon.
Autopilot
Here are two views of Autopilot, the play we set designed, at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, CA.
Vitrine
Here's a close up of a vitrine we designed as part of the set for Autopilot, the play conceived by playwright Jane Pickett and director Lars Jan. Autopilot premiered last week at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and is now en route to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
