Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Collider

Water Mill, New York, United States
October 13th, 2024 - 2026

The Parrish Art Museum will present Collider, a new public artwork by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, as part of the annual façade installation series. Made up of hundreds of small LED spotlights that create a calm, rippling curtain of light along the Museum’s south wall, Collider will be visible from Montauk Highway and up close from the Museum’s meadow. The lights react in real-time to invisible cosmic radiation from outer space, originating from stars and black holes, detected by a custom-made muon detector installed at the Museum. Collider follows façade installations by JR, Hank Willis Thomas, Martin Creed, and Clifford Ross.
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Collider is organized by Corinne Erni, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator of Art and Education, with additional support from Kaitlin Halloran, Associate Curator and Publications Manager.
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Collider is made possible, in part, thanks to the generous support of The Rosenkranz Foundation, Sandy and Stephen Perlbinder; Bloomberg Philanthropies; Mex-Am Cultural Foundation, Inc.; Katherine Farley and Jerry Speyer; and Alexandra Stanton and Sam Natapoff.
