About
Why this artist matters now
Tomás Saraceno builds large-scale pneumatic installations, airborne sculptures, and spider-web architectures that operate at the intersection of art, engineering, and atmospheric science. His work, exhibited at institutions including Palais de Tokyo and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, proposes alternative modes of inhabiting the air through solar-powered flight and communal aerosolar practices.
