Céleste Boursier-Mougenot presents clinamen at Park Avenue Armory marking a new iteration of his ongoing aquatic and musical installation. Within the Wade Thompson Drill Hall, this immersive installation features a series of circular basins filled with water in which porcelain bowls, selected for their timbre, float, drift, and gently collide, producing melodious chiming sounds as a light current pushes them along. The first iteration of clinamen was presented in 1999 at Paula Cooper Gallery.
