A collaborative project between New York-based artist Kiki Smith and Viennese architect and Wolf Prix of Studio Coop Himmelblau. The first artist-architect collaboration to be presented at MOCA, it consists of a group of new figurative sculptural works and drawings by Smith positioned within a soaring, cage-like structure designed by Prix, spanning the nearly sixty-foot height of MOCA's J. Paul Getty Trust Gallery.
