MoMA PS1
presents Yayoi Kusama’s (Japan, b. 1929) site-specific installation of
Narcissus Garden (1966–present) as the third iteration of Rockaway!, a free
public art festival presented with Rockaway Artists Alliance, Jamaica
Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy, National Park Service, and Bloomberg
Philanthropies in the Gateway National Recreation Area at Fort Tilden.
Comprised of 1,500 mirrored stainless steel spheres, Narcissus Garden is on
view in a former train garage that dates to the time when Fort Tilden was an
active US military base. The mirrored metal surfaces reflect the industrial
surroundings of the now-abandoned building, drawing attention to Fort Tilden’s
history as well as the devastating damage inflicted on many buildings in the
area by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
