Building on a relationship begun at RISD, potter Adam Silverman BArch ’88 and architect Nader Tehrani BArch ’86 recently created Boolean Valley, a sculptural installation that opens this Sunday at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles. Using the principle of Boolean logic in its design, the topographic installation is made of almost 400 dome-shaped ceramic units placed to produce a striated, undulating landscape that responds to its architectural surroundings. Also included in the MOCA show are plans and perspectives showing the evolution of the work at each site, along with an exclusive new animation created by Office dA, Nader’s Boston-based studio. On March 22, the two alumni will give an opening day art talk at the Pacific Design Center, where you can see the installation through July 5.
