Big Will and Friends
Big Will and FriendsPlease click on the small plus symbol at the top right of an image for an enlarged view.The spatial intervention consists of an uncomfortably large structure consisting of three 7′ x 7′ foot rooms. besides the slim PVC framing, ‘big will and friends’ is defined entirely by the repetition of an abstracted variant of Morris & Co.’s ‘thistle’ wallpaper.the complex decorative effect created, along with an accompanying performance, is intended to explore the relationships between art, architecture, and mass consumption. ‘big will and friends’ calls for an embracement of the temporal qualities of domestic decor, placing value once again in appearance rather than substance, ephemeral in lieu of longevity. ‘big will and friends’ was made possible by support from the Macdowell Colony, Syracuse University School of Architecture, and the college of visual + performing arts.Design ByJonathan Louie of Architecture Office Gabriel BoyajianNico Carmona.Choregography + PerformanceStephanie WhiteCharlotte BrennanCameron SperaEmily PelletierFilm ByAdam Greenberg
