The Triple Folly presents the rich collaboration between artist Thomas Demand, architects Caruso St John, and textile makers Kvadrat which produced an astonishing new pavilion for Kvadrat?s Ebeltoft campus. The basis of the building is three found paper objects ? a legal pad, a paper plate, and a soda jerk hat ? which Demand brought to Caruso St John with the simple question: ?Can you make this into architecture?? In response, the architects created a sculptural tripartite folly, a kind of inhabitable still life poised on the area?s rolling seaside hillocks, encompassing a meeting room, a kitchen, and a flexible living space which holds a textile work by the artist Rosemarie Trockel.0Inspired by Kvadrat?s role as a celebrated textile producer, Demand initially pursued the idea of the tent as an archetypal architectural structure with many iterations across contexts of leisure and shelter, simplicity and grandeur. Translating these concepts into his own artistic idiom of paper, he tasked Caruso St John with materialising this lightness of form, with a touch of his distinctive, duplicitous whimsy. The final building, completed in September 2022, achieves this through a harmonious sequence of steel and fibreglass structures which create their environments through the fall of light and shadow, textured opacity and welcoming transparency.

The AutoWerke photo portfolio was commissioned by BMW, which cleared the way for Candida Hàfer's gleaming factory interiors, Rineke Dijkstra's portraits of pimpled vocational-school plant trainees, and Gillian Wearing's portraits of BMW owners, among 28 other car-related projects. Crucially, the company also gave the artists enough freedom that the work stands on its own, as it will at the Leipzig Museum of Fine Arts, to which it has been donated.
