In Lunar Bower, panels of fabric are sewn together and stretched across the café, suggesting the ethereal night skies in Albert Pinkham Ryder's paintings. Light is given a corporeal presence as it filters through the hanging sculpture.

Intersections Contemporary Art Projects

Lunar Bower by Lee Boroson

Intersections is a new series of contemporary art projects that explores—as the title suggests—the intriguing intersections between old and new traditions, modern and contemporary art practices, and museum spaces and artistic interventions. Whether engaging with the permanent collection or diverse spaces in the museum, the projects suggest new relationships with their own surprises. Many of the projects also riff on the nontraditional nature of the museum's galleries, sometimes activating spaces that are not typical exhibition areas with art produced specifically for those locations.
