NOGUCHI MUSEUM 9-01 33rd Road (at Vernon Boulevard) Long Island City, NY 11106 718-204-7088 “Area 5: Cut and Fold” On exhibit from June 5 to September 1. This exhibition looks at three ways Noguchi employed paper as a primary tool for developing and executing work: the well-known but often misunderstood Worksheets for Sculpture he made to conceive, piece out and plan his interlocking stone and wood sculptures; the multilayered collages which help him think through the unique space in which dance and theater sets function; and a group of recently rediscovered paper maquettes, along with the cut and folded metal sculptures they generated. MAY13 MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 22-25 Jackson Avenue, Long Island City, NY 11101 718-784-2084 [email protected] “Rain Room” On display from May 12 to July 28 A field of falling water that pauses wherever a human body is detected, Rain Room offers visitors the experience of controlling the rain. Known for their distinctive approach to contemporary digital practice, Random International’s experimental projects come alive through audience interaction and Rain Room is their largest and most ambitious to date. The work invites visitors to explore the roles that science, technology, and human ingenuity can play in stabilizing our environment. Using digital technology, Rain Room creates a carefully choreographed downpour, simultaneously encouraging people to become performers on an unexpected stage and creating an intimate atmosphere of contemplation. Open during regular museum hours.
