In 2001, Midwest artist Nancy Hild (1948–2017) exhibited three larger-than-life canvases at the Chicago Cultural Center. Their installation was unusual. Rather than the typical museum or gallery wall, the three paintings instead hung in a structure-within-a-structure, a small-scale mausoleum and temple custom built for them. The Bird Room Redux redisplays the three original paintings, now in the Woodson’s collection, and reproduces their historic display.
