PARAPIVOT is the roof garden exhibition on display at The Met until October 27th, and is an exceptionally unique or creative way of utilizing the space. Berlin based artist Alicja Kwade uses a wide range of media in her installation that reflect on time, perception and scientific inquiry with the city skyline and Central Park as the backdrop.
