The modular timber design from the CHALET Hollywood is re-assembled as different seating arrangements inside the open-plan gallery at the Nasher Sculpture Center, to create an intimate setting for social exchange.
The diagonal structure that previously provided the support framework for the liquor cabinets in Hollywood, is now reconfigured in the center of the Nasher gallery as a “screen” to provide spatial separation between Pierre Huyghe’s Aquarium from Mark Grotjahn’s painting and Christopher William’s Piano.
Visible through the large glazed facade of the Nasher Sculpture Center, the blue Venetian plaster compliments the beige colored travertine walls of the Renzo Piano-designed gallery, and provides the backdrop for the solid timbers and artworks in the CHALET.
