- Summary:
- "Kosovar artist Petrit Halilaj (born 1986, Kostërc, former Yugoslavia) has been commissioned to create a site-specific installation for the Museum's Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. For the artist's first major project in the United States, Halilaj will transform The Met Roof with a sprawling sculptural installation. Halilaj's work is deeply connected to the recent history of his native country Kosovo and the consequences of cultural and political tensions in the region. After a formative period in Italy, where he studied art at the Accademia di Brera in Milan, he moved to Berlin in 2008, where he still lives and works. His projects encompass a variety of media, including sculpture, drawing, poetry, and performance." -- Metropolitan Museum of Art website.
