Four metal screen walls were inserted into the long galleries, breaking up the space and providing additional display area while maximizing visual transparency within the long, barrel-vaulted spaces. Reminiscent of art storage facilities, the screens underscore how Olowu mined Chicago’s private art collections to bring together this eclectic display.

The screens consist of three equal metal frames, fourteen feet tall and infilled with a one inch square metal mesh. Each assembly is supported by an overhead channel spanning across the twenty-four foot wide gallery.

By displaying the back side of the artwork, the screens add to the maximalist presentation, and the ease of hanging allowed Olowu to improvise and refine groupings during the installation phase.
