SCI-Arc is pleased to present "Six Dreams—Six Targets, a large-scale site-specific installation by architect and artist Peter Cook, in the SCI-Arc Gallery. Building on Cook's internationally-renowned experimental and experiential work, this installation introduces a six-zone, almost completely light-tight experiential space which culminates in a sonic chamber with seating and projections.

Six Dreams will be divided in three zones. First, Gallery visitors will be welcomed through a single point of entry into a dark blue corridor anchored by a flat-screen monitor providing info on the exhibition. The exhibition's second zone consists of a series of 5" peep holes installed along one side of the corridor's wall, displaying very small objects and pictures. This second zone is also defined by an overhead sculpture resembling an airplane wing, fabricated from leightweight wood with a translucent skin.

The third and largest zone houses the COMFO VEG, a soft sofa sculpture which will line the length of the installation with a backrest of varying height. Created out of a continuous snake of "veg" colored fabric, the COMFO VEG sofa sculpture will be sewn and stuffed by the exhibition's installation team. A fragmented video projection will provide atmosphere and the exhibition's soundtrack.

Taken together, Six Dreams will create a surreal, dream-like environment that will fill the entirety of the SCI-Arc Gallery.
