Seattle-born, Paris-based artist Oscar Tuazon (born 1975) works in the overlap between architecture and sculpture. His succinct structures evoke the raw armature of buildings, using the conventional construction materials of concrete, steel and wooden beams to outline areas that viewers are invited to move through. In this way, Tuazon’s works--at once forceful and subtle, monumental and discreet--allow his audience to experience everyday space as extraordinarily arbitrary in its divisions and enclosures. Die documents the production of Tuazon’s 2011 site-specific installation for the inaugural exhibition at The Power Station, a new venue for contemporary art in Dallas, Texas. For this installation, Tuazon produced two works, “Die” and “Dead Wrong.” These works are recorded in black-and-white and color photographs, as well as through sketches and plans. An essay by Kim West, a poem by Ariana Reines and a text by Tuazon meditate on the broader implications of Tuazon’s work.

The Power Station

Oscar Tuazon: Water School is the first catalogue of a series of four that narrates the complete story making of Water School. Conceived as an artist's book, the first book focuses on the commencement with Steve and Holly Baer's passive solar Zome House-the original model, transformed into a mobile, modular public space. The publication includes extensive textual and visual documentation on the construction, alteration, and development of this architectural pavilion conceived in 2016 by Oscar Tuazon, which culminated with the exhibition Oscar Tuazon:&nbsp;&nbsp;Water School at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University in 2019. &nbsp;
