In developing her own color language, Boochever has explored sources as diverse as Kabbalah and Goethe’s Color Theory. The LAB will include a tour of the artist’s current Guild Hall exhibition, Mary Boochever: Chart of the Inner Warp, and an exploration of practice through introductory Tai chi / Qi Gong movements and a collective color knowledge experience.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Blue Dream and the Legacy of Modernism in the Hamptons
By Paul Goldberger
Photographs by Iwan Baan
This is the story of the creation of an astonishing house that renews and reinvigorates the spirit of the avant-garde in the Hamptons. Architecture critic Paul Goldberger tells the story of an extraordinary house on the Atlantic Double Dunes in East Hampton—Blue Dream, the result of a remarkable collaboration between collectors Julie Reyes Taubman and Robert Taubman, who together with architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, builder Ed Bulgin, landscape architect Michael Boucher, and designer Michael Lewis, sought to renew the legacy of modernist architecture and art in the Hamptons.
Goldberger offers insight into the complex process by which an architectural idea generated a work that stands as the most striking addition of our time to the roster of architecturally ambitious modernist houses on Long Island. As he notes, “There are relatively few books devoted to the architecture of a single house, but what is clear if you read any of them is that they are stories about clients as much as about architects.” So it is with Blue Dream, where the Taubmans were inspired by the avant-garde spirit of artists and architects who settled and worked in the Hamptons and set out to create a house like no other, a house whose complex curving forms could only be built using the composite material used to make fighter jets.
Iwan Baan’s photographic portfolio documents Blue Dream across four seasons. Goldberger’s text is illustrated with images of earlier modernist houses that inspired the project, as well as documentation of the design process involved in the making of Blue Dream itself.
