The Provocations: The Architecture and Design of Heatherwick Studio exhibition presents the design concepts behind the span of projects that British designer Thomas Heatherwick and his London-based studio have created worldwide. Currently at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas until January 4, Provocations will make its West Coast debut at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles on February 20.
Presented as a "jack of all trades" and organized by Hammer Museum curator Aram Moshayed, the upcoming L.A. exhibition will feature prototypes, photos, video footage, films, objects, and large-scale models.
The exhibition will include product designs like the "Spun" chair and the Longchamps Zip Bag as well as more recognizable icons like the Olympic Cauldron and the redesigned double decker buses from the London 2012 Olympic Games.
"Provocations" will also highlight Heatherwick's large-scale projects like the UK Pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, the Nanyang Technological University Learning Hub, or the Rolling Bridge in London that brought Heatherwick into the international radar.
After the Hammer Museum exhibition closes on May 24, Provocations will head to New York at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum from June 21 to October 25.
