The Glass House

Photo © Richard Barnes, 2014 Fujiko Nakaya: Veil Closing November 30, 2014 Coinciding with the 65th anniversary of the Glass House and the 2014 tour season, the Glass House presents Fujiko Nakaya: Veil, the first site-specific artist project to engage the iconic Glass House itself, designed by Philip Johnson and completed in 1949. Veil stages a potent dialogue with the Glass House, producing an opaque atmosphere to meet the building's extreme transparency and temporal effects that complement its timelessness.  BUY TICKETS Fujiko Nakaya: Veil is generously supported by National Endowment for the Arts, Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, The Japan Foundation, and Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope®. Additional support is provided by Mee Industries, Inc.  Night Sounds #5 Featuring Zhang Bao-li A musical performance + reception  at the Glass House October 5, 2014, 3:00 - 5:30 p.m.  Night Sounds #5 will feature a performance by Zhang Bao-li alongside a new work by Lutz Bacher.  Zhang Bao-Li is a renowned erhu musician based in New York City, where he performs with Melody of Dragon and the Chinese Music Ensemble, the oldest, largest and only full scale Chinese orchestra in the United States. Since moving to the United States, Zhang Bao-Li has performed at such venues as Lincoln Center, The Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, Carnegie Hall, The New Jersey Performing Arts Center, Joyce Theater, and Merkin Concert Hall.
