Karen Lange with his students at California’s Cal Poly San Luis Obispo College of Architecture and Environmental Design released a video of their recent thesis book show installation, White.
Project Description from the Students:
White is the Studio 400 thesis book show installation. This surface was designed, developed, and installed by Professor Karen Lange’s students as a showcase for the first drafts of the studio’s thesis books. Working in a collaborative manner, we obtained enough material to design an affective environment that will fill our gallery – in this case 80,000 square feet of plastic sheeting. Then the material must be worked by all 40 hands in order to build the environment – in this case loomed into a malleable surface. And then the installation – 4 days of building, looming, crocheting, stapling, bending, and tying. The result was a plastic surface to be experienced above and below, a comfortable net in which to read.
