jennie c jones met roof commission 2631834

Artist Jennie C. Jones has unveiled "Ensemble" (2025), a rooftop commission at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art featuring three monumental, wind-activated stringed instruments—an Aeolian harp, zither, and one-string—that visitors are asked not to touch. The sculptures, coated in deep red powdered aluminum and concrete panels, are designed to be played by the breeze, though wind did not cooperate during the press preview. Jones drew inspiration from the Met's collection of 5,000 musical instruments, African American folk instrument makers like Moses Williams and Louis Dotson, and Minimalist abstraction, creating a work that explores anticipation and the sonic potential of untouchable objects.

The installation features stark, powder-coated aluminum sculptures inspired by stringed instruments—a zither, a harp, and a Blues-inspired one-string—that incorporate acoustic elements, inviting viewers to listen as well as look. This is Jones's second large-scale outdoor project, following her 2020 work 'These (Mournful) Shores' at the Clark Art Institute, which used Aeolian harp principles to evoke the Middle Passage.
