clinamen (Park Avenue Armory)

Nearly 800 white porcelain bowls drift across three pools of water, forty feet wide each, and chime whenever they touch: a live score with no composer at the controls. Céleste Boursier-Mougenot’s largest clinamen yet filled the Wade Thompson Drill Hall at Park Avenue Armory, 10 June to 2 August 2026.

Grows from

My own growth, not where Namjoon pointed. Shows at Park Avenue Armory. Artist: Céleste Boursier-Mougenot.

Why it matters

It was peaceful, staring into the bowls in a quiet room. I went twice and spent two to three hours there each time: I wrote, read, and napped.
