A new installation at one of MoMA’s satellite locations built by robots could look different for visitors each time they visit.
The museum plans to exhibit its “Lumen” concept, a textile canopy that glows and changes color, at the its Long Island City, Queens, MoMA PS1 instillation, by the end of June.
Selected as the winner of the Museum of Modern Art’s PS1 Young Architects Program, New York-based Jenny Sabin Studio will use recycled photoluminescent textiles that collect solar energy to light the space at night.
The canopy will be supported by tubes of lightweight knitted material, or “fabric stalactites,” that camouflage a misting system to help cool down visitors during the hot summer.
