Earlier this year the gallery displayed another Studio Drift work at the Armory Show in New York — a concrete block titled “Drifter” that floated mysteriously in midair. Marc Glimcher, Pace’s president, said the collaboration with Studio Drift started a couple of years ago as part of the gallery’s drive to work more with experiential art. When we see a flock of drones perform like a flock of birds, we have those expectations on a beautiful collision course,” he added. The light sculpture was developed further with Mr. Nauta, and led to Studio Drift being signed on by the Carpenters Workshop Gallery in London in 2009. He added that Studio Drift and the gallery were working on a model whereby the work could be leased in the future.
