    • The Roof Garden Commission At The Met @metmuseum

    _94A8390 _94A8422 1. Installation view_1-medium 6. Installation view _6 mediumUntil November 2nd, a roof garden created by Dan Graham with Gunter Vogt has been set up at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York city. Once you exit the elevator, you will be greeted by the Manhattan skyline, a few steps more, and you will discover the large two-way mirrored hedge.

    The S-shaped installation is encased between two parallel hedges and the treated glass is slightly reflective. It is only until a few minutes of staring at the glass that the visitors realize that they can not only see themselves, but the person on the other side as well. This ignites a small feeling of awkwardness, but it also makes the visitor consider how much they unconsciously stare at others without even noticing it.

    Mr. Graham has been exhibiting his steel and mirrored glass structures beginning of the 1970’s. He calls these structures “pavilions” after the ornamental buildings that decorate seventeenth- and eighteenth-century formal gardens—architectural fantasies inspired by the ruins of classical antiquity.

    Much like the gardens of old, the roof garden offers a near mystical escape from the modernity of the city, complemented with the astounding views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline.

    We urge you to visit to this unique installation!
