Created by Liza Lou, “Trailer” (1998-2000) is a 35-foot-long immersive sculpture within a 1949 Spartan Royal Mansion trailer, which is now on view in our lobby.

“Inside everything are these billions of cells—everything around us is bristling. How do we give a visual experience of that?” Lou wonders. “Beads are a way to really see. I’ve always felt that there’s something about applying—with careful attention—this material. It’s a way of seeing more than you’re seeing.”
