On the occasion of Art Basel Unlimited, Lehmann Maupin presents a large-scale project between long-time friends and collaborators, artist Helen Pashgian and world renowned architect Kulapat Yantrasast. This unique presentation marks the first time Pashgian’s work is exhibited at Unlimited and the first occasion during which the two are partnering to realize a public activation.

Debuting at Unlimited is the first iteration of their collaboration: a site-specific Pavilion designed by Yantrasast to house one of Pashgian’s celebrated 50-inch Lens works. Intended to marry art with architecture and color with form, the Pavilion offers a meditative space in which viewers can engage Pashgian’s work to its fullest. It features curved walls, soft transitioning lighting, and warm-hued walls, which together render the optimal viewing conditions for Pasghian’s work. While the project on view features a single work, Yantrasast and Pashgian have developed alternative concepts which correlate to her range of innovative sculptures, from large-scale Lenses and Columns, to more intimately-scaled Spheres.
