Dan Graham transformed the roof of 548 West 22nd Street into a
small-scale urban park for the Chelsea neighborhood. The project
includes a large-scale architectural glass pavilion designed by
Graham in collaboration with architects Mojdeh Baratloo and Clifton
Balch. Constructed from a two-way mirrored glass, the walls of
the pavilion shift between transparent and reflective states as
the intensity of light changes, creating changing and complex
visual effects with the sky, surrounding landscape, and interactions
with people on the roof. The project also encompasses a small
shed on the roof which was converted into a cafe/video viewing
room. The video program was organized around themes chosen by
Graham.
