The Nomadic Museum - Santa Monica, CA
The Nomadic Museum is the name given to a temporary structure composed of 156 shipping containers, housing the "Ashes and Snow" photography exhibit of Gregory. The structure was built on Pier 54 in NYC to house the exhibit in 2005, then was dismantled, moved to, and reassembled in Santa Monica, CA in early 2006.
The structure, an example of the unusual field of Shipping Container Architecture, was designed by architect Shigeru Ban, and the exhibition is supported by the philanthropic arm of Rolex. The exhibitors claim the structure will be dismantled and shipped to additional locations after the Santa Monica exhibition closes in May 2006.
