A natural, avant-garde symphony at the Park Avenue Armory
Stepping into the darkness of the Armory to see Céleste Boursier-Mougenot’s “clinamen”. Having first seen images of this piece in the Pinault Collection’s opening exhibition, experiencing it in this massive, wall-less drill hall feels entirely different.
Three blue ponds filled with white ceramic bowls of varying sizes floating, colliding, and creating an organic orchestra. The sound echoes powerfully into the high ceilings, yet the effect is deeply relaxing and meditative—everyone was just sitting or lying down, taking it in.
A beautifully minimalist and unique contrast to the glamorous exhibitions usually hosted here. ✨
