Step into artist Cai Guo-Qiang’s personal headquarters in downtown New York City. Its recent renovation and expansion see's historic elements from the building juxtaposed against newer materials of translucent resin. A resin-built wall is the central spine of the building and not only distributes natural light to multiple studios but references Cai’s work of unfolding different scenes on common space. On the cellar level, we see a library, filled with the artist’s collection of publications, and a traditional tea room for the reception. The building is a masterful site-specific approach to the cultural backdrop of Cai’s artwork. Get more information about the artist here.
