Summary:

This is the fifth volume of the Forum Pamphlets Series which documents the design, fabrication, and installation of Oyler Wu's competition-winning intervention at the LA Forum's new gallery space in Hollywood. This system of self-balancing aluminum armatures performs both as reconfigurable vertical wall planes and as a hovering new ceiling that multiplies the spatial and curatorial possibilities of the room. Along with a rich presentation of drawings, models, and photographs that follow the work from its conception through completion, the book features an illuminating interview between Dwayne Oyler, Jenny Wu, and architect Wes Jones, as well as commentaries by Todd Gannon and Mohamed Sharif.--Publisher.
