Inspired by Jazz, What Happens When / Movement 4 explores the tension between
improvisation and tradition, as well as the unique rhythm and
architecture that defines this musical form. We used 9100ft of string to create
different volumes throughout the space. This spatial rhythm throughout
the room results in a visual cadence from the entrance all the way to
the back that visually and spatially communicates the rhythm and
contrast of Jazz. Amber tones of string hearken back to southern
sunlight.
The entryway welcomes guests with a taste of what’s to come with a
collage of patterns and imagery that mix old photographs from New
Orleans with abstract patterns that visually represent the tempo of
jazz. Adding another “note” of reference, all the light fixtures are
inspired by jazz line up instruments. Made from basic geometric shapes
in bright colors, they are configured around the room at different
heights.
