MEDITATION ROOM: HORIZON AT IDEAS CITY 2015

For IDEAS CITY 2015, The Drawing Center presents Balmori Associates’ Meditation Room: Horizon a constructed continuous wall of paper where the overlapping of two dot matrix systems comes together to create a visible horizon. A city is distinguished by the presence of multiple horizon lines stacked one over another. A task of landscape in the city then may be to create the sense of an expansive horizon in the smallest of spaces.

We invite visitors to meditate on this concept of the horizon in New York City's Sara Roosevelt Park near the corner of Chrystie and Houston on Saturday, May 30, from noon-6pm.
