Jorge Pardo’s Blue and White Transformation of Dallas’ Commissary

The Cuban-American artist, who previously created a work of the same nature for Dia:Chelsea, as well as redesigning LACMA’S Ancient Americas galleries, was specially commissioned by the owner of the Commissary, Headington Companies (behind Dallas’ Joule Hotel and Forty Five Ten).

With a practice that merges art with architecture and design, Pardo is known for his ability to transform the ordinary into art by rethinking everyday public and domestic spaces—the outcome of which often creates a dialogue around the question, “What ‘is’ art?”
