“At any given moment, the Aspen Art Museum never looks quite the same. Designed by the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, the building is essentially a glass cube enveloped in a latticed screen made from paper and wood. Sunlight streams through the woven grid, casting dramatic shadows throughout the space. The effect is as ephemeral as it is ethereal, changing with the seasons and the time of day.” —Diana Budds

Please join us for a conversation between Shigeru Ban and Hans Ulrich Obrist. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the museum’s renowned building on the corner of Hyman and Spring streets, Ban and Obrist will discuss the architect’s singular approach to materials, and his ongoing efforts in disaster relief architecture. On August 2, Shigeru Ban will be presented with the Aspen Award for Art at the ArtCrush Gala.

Special thanks to Rowland+Broughton for their support.
