Collaborators on the Stone Curtain were Jeanne Gang, AIA, principal of Studio Gang Architects in Chicago, and International Masonry Institute (IMI) Special Projects Coordinator Matthew Redabaugh. Their installation is a translucent marble curtain of 600 interlocking pieces that hang in tension from the vaulted gallery. Seeking to demonstrate the delicate balance between material and shape, they transformed classic marble into a new, translucent blend of stone by combining it with woven glass fiber and resin, and cutting it into thin, yet immeasurably strong, puzzle-shapes and joining the pieces together.
The exhibit was sponsored by the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC) and the IMI. Guest curator was Stanley Tigerman, FAIA, of Tigerman McCurry Architects in Chicago.
Coverings is the preeminent showcase for ceramic tile and natural stone floor coverings. The 2004 Prism Awards were sponsored by The Marble Institute of America and Architectural Record magazine.
IMI represents a strategic alliance between BAC and union masonry contractors. Its core missions are craft training and technical services for the design and building communities.
