Kwade’s site-specific installation for the 2019 Roof Garden commission at The Met consists of two immersive sculptures that resemble an astrolabe, the instrument historically used to measure the location of the stars and planets over time. This compact volume presents images and analysis of this new installation, setting its creation in the context of the artist’s past work. An interview with Kwade conducted for this publication sheds further light on her process and inspirations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (April 16–October 27, 2019)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40944706388065,"sku":"9781588396679","price":8.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/stand_6943135_jpg.jpg?v=1705722214","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781588396679-alicja-kwade-parapivot-the-roof-garden-commission","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
