Jennie C. Jones on her sonic sculptures on the Metropolitan Museum's roof

Artist Jennie C. Jones has unveiled 'Ensemble', a new site-specific commission for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Roof Garden, on view until October 19. 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.
