Invited by The Metropolitan Museum of Art to create a site-specific installation for The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden, Mike and Doug Starn present a monumental bamboo structure, which will ultimately measure 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 50 feet high. It is comprised of a network of 5,000 interlocking 30-and 40-foot-long fresh cut bamboo poles tied together with nylon rope and will take the form of a cresting wave. Visitors will witness the continuing creation and evolving incarnations of Big Bambú as it is constructed throughout the spring, summer, and fall by the artists and a team of rock climbers.
