The Art Direction of the Noguchi Museum, 2018–

Titled after Isamu Noguchi’s museum of the same name, designed and created by Noguchi, Round’s ongoing work, The Art Direction of the Noguchi Museum is an enquiry into the role an artist might play as an integral part of institutional and design teams, but also of society’s infrastructures and organisations at large. Through this methodology, Round has been an artist in residence with the Serpentine Gallery’s General Ecology project (2018–ongoing), in charge of the project’s art direction. For the Wellcome Collection, Round devised Colour Palette: Living with Buildings (2018), in which a colour palette drawn from their research into the effect of colour on health became an integral part of the exhibition design, as the artist embedded himself within the Wellcome exhibition teams.
