Space for Reflection at the Whitney Museum of Art




1/3





1/5
The space fuses the energy of a religious space with the energy of a natural space.
Its design is conceptually simple - a single plate of glass installed over the Whitney moat, with a thin layer of water on top. The sheet of glass is one single gesture whose filtered light evokes both stained glass and mountain streams.
This hypothetical exhibition is proposed as a temporary installation on the lower level and courtyard of the Whitney Museum of American Art. It is a space for thoughtful reflection, a peaceful space apart from the urban bustle.
