My most recent exhibition for Sugar Hill Children’s Museum was a solo show of Heather Hart’s interactive rooftop Oracle of Amplitude. This interactive installation is aesthetically akin to the Artist’s own gabled roof from childhood removed from its house and edging its way into the gallery floor. Hart invites visitors to interact with the life-sized roof to explore, to look, to talk, and to listen. Over the course of the exhibition, which will be on view from May 2, 2019 to January 19, 2020, her work will be further activated with live performances and storytelling sessions. The Oracle of Amplitude is Hart’s ninth site-specific installation in this series and the first to be installed in Manhattan.
