In Cincinnati, the architect Zaha Hadid has created a striking building which provides an impressive backdrop to contemporary works of art.
For the start time since its foundation in 1939, the renowned Gimmicky Arts Center in Cincinnati has its very own building. This spectacular new building, designed by Zaha Hadid, has been constructed on a popular corner in the city middle. The near succinct feature of the blueprint is the 'urban carpet' whereby the flooring of the entrance area curves up from street level into the vertical rear wall of the building in one fell swoop.
Portraits of some of the movers and shakers behind this ambitious project in America's mid-w were captured by photographer Chris Cone in the context of the opening ceremony: seen here, architect Zaha Hadid with the director of the CAC, Charles Desmarais.

Lois and Richard Rosenthal, the donators subsequently whom the new edifice owes its name. The married couple and former publishers pit themselves with great commitment into cultural and social projects.
To take account of the highly varied media and formats of contemporary art, no 2 galleries of the CAC are the same. In this up opening room the gigantic 'Cloud' by the creative person Inigo Manglano-Ovalle has plant its home - illuminated by carefully focused Stella spotlights which are track-mounted in ceiling channels.
Other works of fine art, new room situations - once once more, Stella spotlights are put to utilise.
The most varied of lighting tasks in the museum can be accomplished with spotlights from the Stella range, thanks to the wide pick of different lamps that tin exist fitted. Equipping the museum with uniformly designed spotlights considerably simplifies usage and maintenance. And during such tasks, the well-idea out details of the Stella spotlights, such as lockable hinge joints and the hinged snoot for lamp replacement, really come up into their own.
The brilliant light of the vertically overhead Stella spotlights even becomes an integral part of the artwork with the 'Global V' disco brawl installation by John Armleder: myriads of reflected lights flicker across the wall of the gallery.
For the interactive children'due south museum, the 'Un-Museum', in the sixth floor (above), the designers consciously opted for a dissimilar lighting concept: flush-mounted Hi-trac tracks either carry Pollux spotlights on track inserts or are used every bit fluorescent luminaires.
The light in the entrance area (to the correct) is composed of a diffuse component from opaquely covered trenches of lite and directed light from Gimbal recessed ceiling mounted directional luminaires.
