Liquescence

The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum

 

Liquescence, occupied the outdoor courtyard on the first floor of the museum, was strategically located at the transition between two thematic spaces of the exhibition: "Physical" and "Fluid," and adjacent to the Museum's Barbara Riley Levin Conservatory.

 

Liquescence re-presents a state of becoming, a state of between solid and liquid, between light and shadow, figure and field, and metaphorically calling upon the duality of ephemerality and permanence, the virtual and the real inherent to the state of contemporary architecture. It is also intended to be a reflection of our collaborative practice itself which is evolving and indeterminate as process yet precise as a physical production.

 

Liquescence comprises of three tented spaces, each is linked to a window overlooking the courtyard. The overall effect of Liquescence integrates the emanating from a computer screen, pulsing at the rate of heartbeats. The installation serves as fluid marker of passing time as well as an etheral foil to the landmark mansion.
