Putting together temporary installations for Conflux this year in collaboration with Doris Cocailo and Sonali Sridhar. Come see you around NYC’s Washington Square Park on the 12th, 13th and 14th of September from 4pm to 8pm.

Working on a few thematic stations and a large scale solar generator for the Public Farm 1 project by Work AC.
“Public Farm 1 is a project designed by WORK Architecture Company for MoMA and P.S.1’s Young Architects Program. Public Farm 1 will be on view in P.S.1’s outdoor courtyard beginning June 20, 2008 for the 2008 WARM UP music series. Public Farm 1 will function as an urban farm while providing an outdoor social space for the summer.
Constructed from large inexpensive cardboard tubes, the Farm will be a folded plane plane that creates multiple zones of activity and diverse experiences. The tubes will be filled with vegetables and supply the on-site farmers market.”
More details also on the PF1 site. And pictures online as well.

This laser cut paper lamp is built on top of a 10$ disco ball from chinatown and twirls when you turn it on.
