Book a dip in Cindy Baker and Ruth Cuthand’s hot tub 

The exhibition Nests for the End of the World includes five projects commissioned by five artists or artist duos. As a part of this exhibition, Ruth and Cindy have recreated the space where these two friends and collaborators meet to discuss the future—the backyard hot tub. You can book a 30 minute spot for two in the hot tub (15 minutes soak time). There is room for four but we hold a spot for Cindy and Ruth who might show up and join you.

We invite you to experience their work and enjoy the hot tub by simply signing up below or onsite with AGA Guest Services. To complete your booking, you must sign a waiver including the rules and regulations for hot tub use. Please feel free to download, read and fill out in advance to ensure the smoothest possible hot tub experience.
