1-452: Embodied Sphere Project

Commissioned as a pop-up museum for the University of Tennessee’s Museum of Natural History and Culture, the design that came to be known as 1-452: Embodied Sphere Project took advantage of a humble ask by the museum’s Director of Outreach – create some publicity for a collection that suffers greatly from a lack of participation. Over the course of two semesters, the design evolved into a choreographed spectacle that not only activated a critical discourse about the role of the museum in contemporary culture but challenged a top-tier research university to acknowledge alternatives to the traditional museum typology.
