With “Apparatus”, Roxy Paine introduced a new chapter in his work: a series of life-size dioramas. In this project, Paine replicated a fast-food restaurant and a control room, two environments that are activated via human interaction. The dioramas were made of ultra-detailed hand carved birch, maple wood, and formed steel. They are encased by an oversized sheet of custom glass.

Space Haus was involved from early on in the planning stages to the final installation, providing logistical management and project support. Our team worked directly with Roxy Paine Studio, Kavi Gupta Gallery, exhibit fabricators, glass installers and the rigging team before and during the month-long installation.
