Artist Collaborations

​

With Caruso St John Will Pirkis collaborated with artists on a proposal for the United Kingdom Holocaust Memorial with Rachel Whiteread and Marcus Taylor, exhibitions with Thomas Demand at the Chicago Architecture Biennial and Museum Leuven, and a pavilion with Thomas Demand for the Danish textiles company Kvadrat.​ 

The pavilion is a permanent installation in the dune landscape surrounding the Kvadrat headquarters in Ebeltoft. Will worked with Demand, Kvadrat, consultants and fabricators from 2017 to completion in 2022. Titled The Triple Folly, the pavilion joins other pieces in the landscape by Olafur Eliasson and Roman Signer, and contains spaces for dining, meeting and exhibition. The forms of the different parts of the pavilion come from everyday objects made from paper: a paper plate, a piece of folded legal paper, and an American soda-jerk's hat. Constructed in painted steel and fibreglass they have a model-like quality. The pavilion is Demand’s first building, and houses an artwork by Rosemarie Trockel, and fittings and furniture pieces designed for the building by Demand.
