Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation
Culture+Ideas
AR-MA: Trifolium. 21 March to 13 December 2014.

Why we funded this project: The Nelson Meers Foundation is delighted to be supporting the Culture+Ideas series at the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation (SCAF).  AR-MA: Trifolium is the latest exhibition of this series.

Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation, Australia's leading not-for-profit space for contemporary culture, announces exciting developments for 2014 with a schedule that features creative practitioners working at the cutting edge with new technology.

AR-MA: Trifolium uses advanced computer design to fulfil a conceptual brief – developed by Dr Gene Sherman (Executive Director, SCAF) in partnership with BVN Donovan Hill – of a built structure that uses the most progressive technology currently available. The Fugitive Structures concept references London's Serpentine Gallery's highly successful Architectural Pavilion series in Kensington Gardens.

Trifolium features a thermally formed and robotically trimmed Corian exterior envelope with 152 laser-cut cylindrical, black mirror-polished interior panels, each connected by digitally fabricated fixings. The futuristic pavilion has the flexibility to be a meeting place, an auditorium or a stage for the Foundation's many events.

This technologically advanced structure is located in the gallery's Zen Garden and will remain until October 2014.
