Folly

Working on small and monumental scales, Jorge Pardo’s artworks explore the intersection of contemporary painting, design, sculpture, and architecture. Folly is one of Pardo’s most ambitious architectural installations to date, commissioned for the UH Central campus by Public Art UHS. It is a site-specific response to one of the last original wooded areas remaining at UH.
