24. The Shed at Hudson Yards

The Shed at Hudson Yards, which opened to the public on April 5, 2019, is a new indoor/outdoor center for the arts. Its groundbreaking structure was designed by Diller, Scofio + Renfro, Lead Architect, and Rockwell Group, Collaborating Architect and will adapt and transform to accommodate all disciplines and all audiences.

The Shed’s May programming will feature two art exhibitions: Reich Richter Part, an immersive live performance installation which explores the relationship of visual art and music (April 6 – June 2, 2019), and an installation of new work by artist Trisha Donelly (April 6 – May 30, 2019). Inside the Griffin Theater there will be performances of Norma Jeane Baker of Troy, a spoken and sung performance piece written by Anne Carson and starring Ben Whishaw (April 6 – May 19, 2019), as well as a staged concert by Björk in The McCourt space (May 6 – June 1, 2019). POWERPLAY, a production by multimedia artist LATASHÁ in collaboration with The Shed it’s DIS OBEY program for New York City high school students will premiere for two days and explores women-centered ideas of power and collective action through dance, spoken word and moving images (May 18 – May 19, 2019). The only permanent installation at The Shed is In Front of Itself by Lawrence Wiener. Weiner’s piece is a site-specific installation embedded in The Shed’s plaza.

The Shed is the latest structure to open at Hudson Yards, following the official grand opening of the new neighborhood on the far West Side of Manhattan, along with the opening of the Vessel.
