42!

A new studio, residence and social environment continuing Nelson's longstanding exploration of immersive, collaborative and inhabitable sculpture. Conceived as an evolving setting for artistic production, conversation, hospitality and experimentation, 42! brings together domestic life, creative practice and social activity within a single built environment. The project revisits the intersection of food, performance and social choreography first explored through Secret Restaurant at Marvimon, while providing a home for Rudy Caballero, an ongoing collaborative fiction exploring shared authorship, artistic identity and collective imagination. Salons, dinners, performances and spontaneous collaborations are integral to the space. Rather than functioning as a finished interior or conventional studio, 42! is an open-ended work in which architecture, objects, people and the activities unfolding between them become part of the composition.
