After three weeks of installation, Torkwase Dyson’s Liquid Shadows, Solid Dreams (A Monastic Playground) opened to the public last week. Take a look at how our art handling and carpentry teams brought this work to life on our Floor 5 terrace.

The massive sculpture is part of Whitney Biennial 2024: Even Better Than the Real Thing and is the inaugural Hyundai Terrace Commission.

Described by Dyson as a “monastic playground,” the installation is meant to be activated by visitors, who are invited to touch, sit on, and experience the work in a tactile way. Read more about the work here: whitney.org/exhibitions/torkwase-dyson
