Jennie C. Jones (b. 1968) is well known for her embrace of music and sound in her practice, which encompasses painting, sculpture, installation, and audio recordings. So naturally, for her rooftop commission at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, she’s actually built her own musical instruments, fabricating three monumental stringed instruments. Tantalizingly, visitors are asked not to touch the Aeolian harp, zither, and one-string, letting them be activated instead by the breeze.
