Marfa: Chinati Permanent Art Collection. 2017
Site Aerial
Donald Judd intended for the Chinati permanent collection to be unlike any art collection prior to it. In homage to this vision, the proposed permanent collection of contemporary art sculptures occurs not on the site, but beneath it. Using the existing remains of the previous barracks, a long narrow tunnel connects a series of unique spaces. Each with ITS own lighting condition, and SPATIAL quality. Beneath the ground, the artworks are safe from mother nature. A sense of inevitability and permanence is created.
Art needs to be viewed in light. Whether natural or artificial, light has the potential to speak with the art. Light can bind sculpture, space, and architecture together in a seamless and natural relationship. In the proposed sequence, natural light is utilized in a variety of methods and densities. It creates a context for the sculpture to live within. Light has the potential to create a transcendental space. The light shafts placed sparingly throughout the site are the only recognition of an outside context one will perceive when in the spaces. From above, only traces of what exists below can be seen.

Site Panorama
All contextual awareness is removed, so the sculptures generate their respective atmospheres along the series of spaces. with the absence of this surrounding context, endless possibilities for the interpretation of the artwork is created. the sculptures live independently, and the spaces are designed purely to house the artwork. the scattered light shafts throughout the site show only fragments of what exists below.
