Jennie C. Jones presents 'Ensemble,' a series of three sculptural instruments on the Metropolitan Museum of Art's rooftop. While one sculpture, an Aeolian harp, produces sound through the wind, the other two remain silent, emphasizing their potential and the concept of activation versus dormancy. This work challenges viewers to reflect on the relationship between art, sound, and the invisible forces that could bring these sculptures to life. Open through October 19, the exhibition is a continuation of the museum's tradition of featuring innovative contemporary art in its rooftop garden.
The pieces are not always singing, they're not performing, they're not always activated.
Their potential for sound and the tension between dormancy and activation is where they hold power.
