Double Agent White
Atelier Calder, Saché, France
The pavilion that Fornes designed and built while an
artist-in-residence at the Atelier Calder in Saché, France, can be taken
apart for storage. Although it is approximately 11 feet tall and 20
feet in diameter, the work can be broken up into sub-assemblies and
packed in a 14-by-12-by-9-foot crate. Fornes’s fabrication files
included information about how the project’s thousands of elements would
be positioned on the aluminum sheets they were cut from.

Paris
Y/Surf/Structure, part of the permanent collection of
the Centre Pompidou, has more than 7,000 parts assembled with 32,000
rivets. The perforations here, and in other works by TheVeryMany, make
the individual components easier to handle during installation, says
Fornes. They also allow the flat aluminum sheets to be twisted into
compound curves.

Plasti(k) is made of 150 4-by-8-foot sheets of
polyethylene held together by more than 1,300 bolts. Washington
University architecture students helped fabricate and assemble the
piece, which was installed in the spring and summer of 2011 as part of a
playground they designed for the Botanical Heights neighborhood.
