The Japanese architect Shigeru Ban and the New York-based architect Dean Maltz have designed the Nomadic Museum, a movable exhibition space with steel cargo containers for walls and columns made of recycled paper tubes. The traveling museum will be transported in its own containers and will arrive at Pier 54 in Manhattan early next year, with a show of 200 large black-and-white photographs by the Canadian-born artist Gregory Colbert called "Ashes and Snow'' (March 5 through June 6; information: ashesandsnow.org) >scarey flash warning!!!<. RAUL A. BARRENECHE for the NYT - see home section currents slide show.

um, please.
I guess you can't edit someone else's posts huh?
Anyway...
This is a mysterious collaboration. I personally am excited to see what this thing is really going to be. I have heard it will be made up of hundreds of containers (literally).. And who is this 'artist' worthy of his own nomadic museum?
(thats just my clumsy way of saying nice scoop) we know shigeru ban from his break away inclusion in moma's 1999 un-private house show with curtain wall house. not at all excited by the photography sad to say.
really, outrageous cantilever and all?
He uses different languages for sure - but his subtleties I think are amazing. His work with paper can be beautiful.
Here is more on him. I'll try to find some images.
sorry i was unclear re nonplussing photos. im meant the elephant guy. curtain wall house is very photogenic i thinx. urban setting, dramatic cantilever and the billowing curtains. big wow. thanks for digging around for images.
(phew. of course a lot of people don't like Ban's work. Do I sound like Fox tv, 'some people say')
agreed about the 'artist'. but I am fascinated.
i realize this is old news. just thought you might appreciate the images
as nice as that building is (great images at that link, thx) , its stunning how bad the photographer guys animal pictures are.
