CAROL BOVE
Description of the Artist’s work:
Carol Bove has becom e known for elegant sculptures and installations that double as highly
personalized archives of a period known to the collective im agination as the Sixties. She
investigates the philosophies and aesthetics of the l960s and early 70s, forging m editative
environm ents designed for listening, reading, and looking. Her installations while m inim alist
in form , evoke the personal. M ore recently she has forged past this specific tim e period to
closely look at a m ore general investigation into “m odernity”.
Description of the work com m issioned:
The Night Sky Over … series of work is com posed of hundreds bronze rods suspended from
the ceiling in m im icry of the astrological configuration. The arrangem ent of the rods recre-
ates a special celestial event. They align with the stars congregating over the space in which
the installation takes place at a designated tim e. The work reverses the conventional rela-
tionship between hum an beings and the cosm os, between interiority and exteriority. Here the
universe is scaled to the body and by extension contained within that which it norm ally
contains: the hotel is becom ing quite literally a m icrocosm .
The artist, with that work, orchestrates colors, form s, m aterials in order to generate a subtle
rhythm , a sense of variety within harm ony and infuses a sensuousness to the space.

building architects/engineers. It should visually blend into the existing ceiling and be capable of
supporting 1000 lbs. (conservative estim ate).
The sculpture itself will consist of approxim ately 450, 8ft lengths of architectural bronze rods
hanging from gold plated bronze wire. Each rod will saddle the m id point of
individual lengths of wire that will attach at two points on the ceiling platform . (Please see
im age 2). The wires will attach to the ceiling platform with bronze screws fabricated by the
studio.
The overall size of the sculpture will be 12.37ft x 10ft x 6ft. The bronze rods them selves will
articulate a volum e of 8ft x 10ft x 6ft. This volum e of rods will hang 4.37ft below the ceiling.

the details of installations to m eet the dem ands of unique environm ents/sites.
The final height and placem ent of the piece is subject to discussion between Carol Bove, and the
architects, designers, and engineers involved in the project.

YOSHIAKI YUKI
Description of the artist’s practice:
Yoshiaki Yuki is a Japanese artist who paints bold calligraphic-inspired designs on tables,
screens, plates and bowls. His work com bines representational im ages and abstract paintings
in an im passioned attem pt to fuse them into one single vision.
For the past 2 decades, the artist has studied calligraphy art that he has nam ed Ji-Sho-Ji-Ga,
based on his vision of the character (both Chinese and Japanese) as m ore im age and sym bol
than alphabet. That is, instead of writing, he paints the ancient hieroglyphic characters,
gathering inspiration not from their m eaning alone, but also from their shape and form .
For the com m ission, Yoshiaki Yuki will design a distinguished screen that will com bine repre-
sentational im ages and abstract paintings, an inspiration for the viewer.

COREY M CCORKLE
Description of the artist’ s practice
The Am erican artist Corey M cCorkle is a site specific artist interested in the terrain linking
art, architecture and design. His practice consists of m eticulously crafted objects, on the
one hand, and precise architectural interventions on the other. The result is always situated
at the crossroads between architecture, design and craftsm anship. M any of M cCorkle’s dis-
tinctive objects and installation, however often draw their inspiration from psychedelic,
Utopian, ecological and esoteric sources. As such, they operate a precise critique of the
am bivalent nature of design in our contem porary society and its even m ore am biguous rela-
tionship with art.
W idth of Circle (2003) is a tondo m ade in a wooden wall placed directly in front of the
windows. M ade from round cross sections of bam boo, and held in place by tension only, it
em bodies a literal translation of “design under pressure.” According to a m aterialistic m odel
of thinking, style is m otivated by the technologies and the m aterials used for construction.
Hence, style is the abstract product of the best technical practice in a genre. Ornam ent is
the reflection, a sym bolic stress, of its m aterial and structural logic. Looking onto the
exterior through this rosette window is as if looking into a prism of incom ing light.
