BIG BAMBU AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART
2010-08-30Invited by The Metropolitan Museum of Art to create a site-specific installation for The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden, the twin brothers Mike and Doug Starn present their new work, Big Bambu: You Can’t, You Don’t, and You Won’t Stop. The monumental bamboo structure, ultimately measuring 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 50 feet high, takes the form of a cresting wave that bridges realms of sculpture, architecture, and performance. Visitors witness the continuing creation and evolving incarnations of Big Bambú as it is constructed throughout the spring, summer, and fall by the artists and a team of rock climbers. Set against Central Park and its urban backdrop, Big Bambu suggests the complexity and energy of an ever-changing living organism.It is the thirteenth-consecutive single-artist installation on the Roof Garden.
Exhibition runs through to October 31th 2010
