Discover “Hyundai Terrace Commission: Marina Zurkow: The River is a Circle” now on view at the Whitney Museum’s fifth-floor terrace. This captivating installation features an environmentally adaptive animation that reflects the artist’s vision of time, ecology, and storytelling.
In this new film, artist Marina Zurkow, along with Curator Christiane Paul, and Curatorial Assistant David Lisbon offers a behind-the-scenes look at the non-linear narrative of the area’s layered histories and how the installation meets site.
Her vision comes to life with the help of key collaborators, including artist James Schmitz, who built a climate-informed algorithm to transform the animation with changing seasons and weather, and architect Blake Goble, who designed the nautical-inspired seating and tactile sculptures framing the work to invite a deeper sensory relationship with the river as witness, constant, and co-creator.
