On the Met Roof, Alicja Kwade’s Test of Faith

Known for confronting the laws of physics, the Polish-German artist builds a planetary sculpture and ponders our place in the universe

“Mr. Euler, who has worked with Ms. Kwade for years, described her as very “exact” and “whatever the positive word is for ‘pedantic.’”

Despite the sculptures’ abstract qualities, Ms. Baum said that the work offers a salient commentary on our current moment. “She wants us to engender distrust for the systems and rules which we rely on too passively.”

Her lesson may be taken to heart on the roof of the Met. “ParaPivot’s” visual interactions with the Manhattan skyline, Ms. Kwade said, were partly inspired by the fact that the city’s skyscrapers were symbols of a capitalist system she views with mistrust. From certain angles, she explained, the sculpture’s spherical rocks will look as if they are perched on the surrounding buildings, so that “capitalism becomes a pedestal for the globe.”

She noted that capitalism is seen by many as a “pillar” holding up our society. “Money, economics, capitalism, they have nothing to do with reality,” she said, arguing that they are based entirely on people’s faith. “I don’t believe in any authorities. But that doesn’t necessarily make things easier for me.””
