"Artist Tomás Saraceno (born in Tucumán, Argentina, in 1973) will create a constellation of large, interconnected modules constructed with transparent and reflective materials for the Museum's Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. Visitors may enter and walk through these habitat-like, modular structures grouped in a nonlinear configuration. Over the past decade, Saraceno has established a practice of constructing habitable networks based upon complex geometries and interconnectivity that merge art, architecture, and science."

ReplyDeleteTomás Saraceno’s Cloud City is a spectacular installation, although not intended for those afraid of heights. Saraceno's creation really allows visitors to see New York City as though they never had before. We'll be back at least once this summer for a visit.
