Stillness in Motion

On display at SFMoMA, Tomás Saraceno conceived an immersive site-specific cloudscape installation of suspended tension structures and floating sculptures.

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art presens the exhibition “Tomás Saraceno: Stillness in Motion — Cloud Cities”. The exhibition includes an immersive site-specific cloudscape installation of suspended tension structures and floating sculptures, as well as explorations of the intricate constructions of spider webs.

“Stillness in Motion — Cloud Cities” is part of Tomás Saraceno’s larger, long-term project titled Aerocene, the artist’s vision for a future era in which humanity minimizes the impact on the planet’s fossil-fuel resources, and instead resides in collective airborne cities.

In the exhibition, visitors will be encouraged to wind their way through and below a geometrically complex array of cords and reflective panels, forming a cloud of 10,000 nodes suspended in the air by tension and connected to the gallery walls, floor and ceiling. This site-specific work is inspired by multiple phenomena and structures, including the social construction of spider webs, stellar and atmospheric clouds, bubble and foam geometry and social and neural communication networks.
