This exhibition presents the body of work that emerged in the fire’s aftermath. None of the works in Rubberneckers shows a human figure. Aparicio builds them larger than a single body on purpose: a tree carries the marks of decades of hands, not one person’s, and he wants the work to carry the same weight. Rubberneckers asks viewers to look at a familiar landscape and recognize how much of it, the trees, the infrastructure, the ground itself, was never neutral to begin with.

The world premiere of a new work from National Medal of the Arts and Kennedy Center Honoree, Bill T. ... more >> Jones, a show that was originally scheduled to premiere on September 12, 2001 on the plaza of the Twin Towers. This new work, with original music from composer Samora Pinderhughes, commemorates the 25th anniversary of that suspended moment--and all that has unfolded since. Jones, in collaboration with Pinderhughes, forge an intergenerational bridge as both artists search within themselves and their respective creative interests to meditate on loss, and their distinct responses to the 25-year aftermath of 9/11. Featuring performances from Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company and live musicians.
