The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that Berlin-based artist Alicja Kwade has been selected to create a site-specific installation for The Met’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden this Spring. Alicja Kwade, ParaPivot will be on view from April 16 through October 27, 2019.
We have no heads-up on the upcoming installation, but consider that her work often focuses on time and space, remembering her exhibit through Public Art Fund ~ Against the Run in 2015-2016, located at Doris C. Freedman Plaza, Fifth Avenue at 59th Street. We will also look for a corresponding exhibition at 303 Gallery.
Additionally, Kwade will be on view this season at Socrates Sculpture Park, with her installation REVOLUTION (Gravitas), 2017 in the group exhibition, Chronos Cosmos: Deep Time, Open Space from May 5 through September 2, 2019.
In addition, Alicja Kwade will have work on view at The Armory Show 2019, March 7-10, at KÖNIG GALERIE and 303 Gallery, both on Pier 94.
The Roof Garden Commission: Alicja Kwade, ParaPivot is supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, with additional support provided by Cynthia Hazen Polsky and Leon B. Polsky. The exhibition will be accompanied by a book published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and distributed by Yale University Press.
