Mission
The mission is to spark reflection on the intersection of architecture, transit, and personal identity. By situating conceptual sculptures in a festival context, Koch provokes audience curiosity and meaningful discourse—ideals that mirror Althafen Foundation’s commitment to innovative cultural engagement.
Approach
Koch uses foundry-inspired materials and bold color contrasts to distort scale, guiding viewers’ physical navigation of the space. Althafen Foundation provides curatorial support and logistics, ensuring that attendees can explore the installation in an open, interactive atmosphere.
Impact
“Double Standard Wide Transit” enriches the Summer Arts Lounge’s interdisciplinary ethos. Its striking forms, encountered in a repurposed riverfront venue, encourage visitors to question familiar concepts of travel and context. The piece becomes a highlight of the lounge, underscoring the foundation’s dedication to forward-thinking visual arts.
