Hyundai Terrace Commission: Kelly Akashi — Whitney Museum

Kelly Akashi's site-specific commission for the Whitney's outdoor Hyundai Terrace responds directly to the building's industrial Hudson River setting. Her practice weaves together bronze casting, glass blowing, and organic materials to examine themes of growth, decay, and connection. The terrace setting — with unobstructed Hudson views — makes it one of the most atmospheric installations the Whitney has hosted in years. Free with museum admission.
