The opening of Storm King
Wavefield is accompanied by a special exhibition, Maya Lin: Bodies of
Water, on view in Storm King’s museum building May 9 through November 15, 2009.
The exhibition features several works that reflect the artist’s interest
in water in its various states. The works include installation, sculpture,
photographs, models, and drawings, among them examples related to the
development of Storm King Wavefield. Several works also draw attention to
the plight of sites around the world that suffer from human encroachment and
industrial pollution.
Highlights of the works on view include a new piece,
fabricated in recycled wood, that evokes a single wave; a work titled Pin
River, comprising tens of thousands of straight pins set into the gallery
wall, creating the illusion of a shadow image of the Hudson River system; and
Dew Point, a series of cast-glass drops of water.
The exhibition also includes a video and photographs of
Ms. Lin at work.
