"Kwong will begin by 3-D printing a sculptural shell, formed from soil embedded with native seeds, in a storefront facing Redwood Park-a half-acre space adjacent to the Transamerica skyscraper hosting more than 50 redwood trees hundreds of feet tall. After several weeks of fabrication in public view, Kwong's dome will be moved into the grove, where it will slowly bloom and function as a seed-dispersal hub. Over the following six months, the structure will shift with the seasons as the seeds germinate."
"Meanwhile, inside Transamerica's glass-walled Annex Gallery, Donovan will install existing and newly created columns from her series, built from hundreds of thousands of recycled CDs. The skyscraper's floor-to-ceiling windows will turn the sculptures into prisms that catch and scatter daylight, changing subtly with the time of day and the changing seasons. A nomadic museum ICA SF was not always a roving museum. In fact, when it was founded in 2020, it was modelled on the non-collecting European kunsthalle."
Two site-responsive installations will occupy the Transamerica Pyramid Center and adjacent Redwood Park, launching 17–25 January and remaining on view until 31 July. Lily Kwong will 3-D print a sculptural shell made from soil embedded with native seeds in a storefront facing a half-acre redwood grove; after public fabrication the dome will be moved into the grove to bloom and act as a seed-dispersal hub over six months. Tara Donovan will install columns of hundreds of thousands of recycled CDs in the glass-walled Annex Gallery, using floor-to-ceiling windows to turn the works into light-scattering prisms. The projects form a partnership with the owner and the nomadic Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco.
