Græn R∞m
January - February 2020
The project takes its name from three different concepts of ‘the green room.’
In theater, music, and entertainment: a space to relax and socialize backstage; a room for artists and guests to prepare before, and retire after, a performance.
In the White House: a decorated state parlor used for intimate receptions and tea ceremonies.
In surfing parlance: the sublime yet precarious space inside the barrel of a breaking wave.
Drawing inspiration from the unique aesthetics and function of each definitional context, Græn R∞m invites an intergenerational public to rest, learn, commune, take care, and prepare for, or seek respite from, the many performances of everyday life. To this end, Græn R∞m is anchored by reading areas furnished with thought-provoking, critical, and imaginative texts, games, visual art, and music—a mixture of found, curated, and original work by Solarpunk Surf Club.
