As the Hirshhorn Museum began extensive exterior renovations on its unique drum-shaped facade with months of unsightly scaffolding expected, the museum commissioned Swiss artist Nicolas Party to create his largest artwork to date, “Draw the Curtain.” Phoenix-based Convergent Print Group was tasked with bringing the 360-degree digitally collaged pastel painting to life.
As the Hirshhorn Museum began extensive exterior renovations on its unique drum-shaped facade with months of unsightly scaffolding expected, the museum commissioned Swiss artist Nicolas Party to create his largest artwork to date, “Draw the Curtain.” Phoenix-based Convergent Print Group was tasked with bringing the 360-degree digitally collaged pastel painting to life.
The primary graphics were printed using our family of Durst Rho 500R presses and then used one of our Miller Weldmaster T112 hot air welders to weld twisted nylon rope into the perimeter of each mesh, creating an embedded keder edge. A unique track system, designed by Sail Systems, was attached to the exterior of the scaffolding surrounding the entire building. The keder edges of each mesh panel were then slid into the channels of each track.
Not to have the scaffolding seen at all, matching self-adhesive graphics were printed on 3M 40C using our family of HP Latex 3600 presses to seamlessly transition between the vinyl mesh graphics. This gave a continuous, unbroken graphical image.
