Jennie C. Jones has introduced her geometric sculptures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Roof Garden, showcasing four distinct works that combine visual art and sound. Each sculpture features a sleek, minimalist design created with materials like powder-coated aluminum and concrete travertine, reflecting both the artist's vision and the museum's architecture. The innovative installation resonates with sound when the wind interacts with the strings stretched across the pieces, enhancing the experience for viewers. This commission exemplifies Jones' unique approach, merging art and auditory elements in a striking outdoor setting.
The materials were clean: powder-coated aluminum and concrete travertine, inspired by the Met's own architecture, with a palette of two shades of red.
I'm thrilled! Jones said. The sound hovered, overriding the ambient city noises, until the wind shifted, leaving a gently dissipating resonance. Wow, she said.
