Don’t miss this opportunity to see Big Bambú: You Can't, You Don't, and You Won't Stop the site-specific installation created for the Met's rooftop by the twin brothers Mike and Doug Starn (born in New Jersey in 1961), on view through October 31. The monumental bamboo structure, ultimately measuring 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 50 feet high, takes the form of a cresting wave that bridges the realms of sculpture, architecture, and performance. During your visits you will witness the continuing creation and evolving incarnations of Big Bambú as it is constructed throughout the spring, summer, and fall by the artists and a team of rock climbers.
