About the Video
Hyundai Terrace Commission: Marina Zurkow: The River is a Circle is a data-driven animation and installation on the fifth-floor terrace of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. As the second Hyundai Terrace Commission, the work draws on real-time climate and tide data to depict the shifting ecologies of the Hudson River and the Meatpacking District’s layered past, transforming the terrace into a living, responsive landscape.

About the Program
The annual Hyundai Terrace Commission gives artists and curators a platform to present site-specific works on the museum’s fifth-floor terrace, as part of the Whitney’s 10-year partnership with Hyundai Motor. Artists are invited to create large-scale, experimental projects that enable them to test their aspirations, incubate their creativity, and respond to the space and the neighborhood. During the years of the Whitney Biennial (every two years), the fifth-floor terrace space will feature the commissioned work of an artist for the Hyundai Terrace Commission in conjunction with the larger Biennial exhibition.
