For the 2025 Roof Garden Commission, Jennie C. Jones (born 1968, Cincinnati, Ohio) will produce Ensemble. Only her second outdoor sculptural installation, the project will explore the sonic potential of stringed instruments as well as their formal possibilities. In the artist's unique response to modernism, these acoustic sculptures propose the line of the string as a proxy for art history, unbroken and continuous.
In her paintings, sculptures, works on paper, installations, and audio compositions, Jones uses sound to respond to the legacy of minimalism and to modernism itself. Drawing on her immersion in Black improvisation and avant-garde music, she deploys sound and listening as important conceptual elements of her practice, from the acoustic fiberglass panels she affixes to canvas, which absorb sound and affect the acoustic properties of the environment, to the lines and bars she creates through her compositions that refer to elements of musical notation. Her work across media offers new possibilities for minimalist abstraction, challenging how—and by whom—it is produced.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a stunning art palace, with a rich collection that is enough to make people linger. Whether it is ancient Egyptian statues, European Renaissance paintings, or Asian calligraphy and porcelain, each exhibition hall is like a window to different civilizations. Just standing in the Egyptian Pavilion and looking at the fully restored Temple of Dendur is enough to make people marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient times.

In the European Painting Gallery, Van Gogh&#39;s &quot;Wheat Field and Cypresses&quot; and Monet&#39;s &quot;Water Lilies&quot; and other works are right in front of you, and every stroke is full of vitality. The Armor and Weapons Exhibition Hall is like walking into the world of medieval knights, and those finely crafted armors seem to still tell stories on the battlefield. Even if you spend a whole day, you still feel that time is not enough. Every time you enter an exhibition hall, you can find new surprises and you are reluctant to leave.

The price is very high, just turn around on the boat, you can see the Statue of Liberty in many ways without disembarking, it is still very shocking. The guide is very interesting, will joke, the crew who take pictures is also very good, will help swing the action.

There&rsquo;s something magical about seeing the Empire State Building in real life&mdash;it feels like stepping into a movie. The architecture is stunning, and it stands so proudly over the city. I caught myself just looking up for a while, taking it all in. Definitely one of those New York moments that stays with you.
