“I identify as a heterosexual in my daily life,” Nicolas Party says. That’s certainly the case with his latest — and, perhaps, greatest — installation at the Hirshhorn Museum. Party describes the installation as “a visual play on what is happening on the site” itself. The wraparound mural depicts a series of faces, partially peering out from curtains, that Party sampled from classic paintings. “And that’s something that was completely forgotten,” he continues, alluding to another source of inspiration for the Hirshhorn installation.
