The Met has a new exhibit on the roof.
On Sunday, Sarah and I went to breakfast at Kitchenette, my favorite little restaurant near my attic. Then we went to church, and walked through a bit of Central Park on our way to the Puerto Rican Parade on 5th Ave. Since we were so close to The Met and it is pay what you want we decided to go.
The exhibit is called Maelstrom by Roxy Paine.
P.S. my camera has officially decided to not work, and lose its button. So this was taken with my camera phone. I'm going to Best Buy today to look into getting a new one.
American artist Roxy Paine (b. 1966) has created a 130-foot-long by 45-foot-wide stainless-steel sculpture, especially for the Museum’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. Giving viewers the sense of being immersed in the midst of a cataclysmic force of nature, Maelstrom (2009) is Paine’s largest and most ambitious work to date. The latest in a diverse body of work, this sculpture is one of the artist’s Dendroids based on systems such as vascular networks, tree roots, industrial piping, and fungal mycelia. Set against Central Park and its architectural backdrop, the installation explores the interplay between the natural world and the built environment amid nature’s inherently chaotic processes.
