Join artist Sasha Stiles for a special meditative listening session in Sasha Stiles: A LIVING POEM, MoMA’s current installation in the Gund Garden Lobby. Immerse yourself in the installation’s soundtrack developed by her studio partner, Kris Bones.

A LIVING POEM is an infinite text powered by human imagination and computer algorithms. Inspired by text-based art from the Museum’s collection, the poem rewrites and performs itself anew every 60 minutes. It also includes an intimate, immersive soundscape that reminds us of poetry’s roots in oral tradition. Enjoy this auditory experience with the artist and your fellow members.
