Descripción de la Exposición

The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced upcoming commission at The Met Fifth Avenue. Mexican artist Héctor Zamora has been selected to create a site-specific intervention for The Met's Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. The Roof Garden Commission: Héctor Zamora, Lattice Detour will open on April 21 and be on view through October 25, 2020. The Roof Garden Commission: Héctor Zamora, Lattice Detour is supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies. Additional support is provided by Cynthia Hazen Polsky and Leon B. Polsky. "Both the Cantor Roof Garden and the Museum's facade offer prominent platforms for new ideas and creative expression. We are thrilled to work with Héctor Zamora and Carol Bove on the next two commissions in this milestone year—the Museum's 150th anniversary," said Max Hollein, Director of The Met. "Zamora's ability to transform public spaces and the built environment in ways that are often infused with tension related to current events ... is sure to make for a striking intervention on the Roof Garden. And Bove's keen attunement to art history and the legacies of modernist and minimalist sculpture will make for a fascinating contrast with the facade. We look forward to unveiling their works." Sheena Wagstaff, The Met's Leonard A. Lauder Chairman of Modern and Contemporary Art, added, "In their own way, each artist will challenge conventional approaches to two very different architectural spaces. For the Roof Garden, Héctor Zamora will invite us to reconsider the panoramic view of the city skyline and the implications of obstruction and permeability within a social space. The Roof Garden Commission series was established in 2013 by the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art. The series of site-specific commissions on The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden has featured work by Imran Qureshi (2013), Dan Graham (2014), Pierre Huyghe (2015), Cornelia Parker (2016), Adrián Villar Rojas (2017), Huma Bhabha (2018), and most recently, Alicja Kwade (2019). The Roof Garden Commission is accompanied by a dedicated publication. Héctor Zamora Born in 1974 in Mexico City, Mexico, Héctor Zamora currently lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal.
