An installation has been realized in the museum’s courtyard during the exhibition. ‘In the shade’ involves a sequence of five free-standing screens built from panes of colored glass by glas italia and held in place by caesarstone pedestals. Each podium has been arranged to appear as if it is penetrating the glazed surface. This installation evokes the feeling of being ‘outdoors’ while what lies behind the screen appears to be ‘indoors’.
