Meet the Artist—The Roof Garden Commission: Jennie C. Jones, Ensemble | Met Exhibitions

Описание: Go behind the scenes with Jennie C. Jones discussing the 2025 Roof Garden Commission at The Met, Ensemble, on view through October 19, 2025.

Only her second outdoor sculptural installation, the project explores the sonic potential of stringed instruments as well as their formal possibilities. In the artist's unique response to modernism, these acoustic sculptures propose the line of the string as a proxy for art history, unbroken and continuous.
