About the Video
Torkwase Dyson's Liquid Shadows, Solid Dreams (A Monastic Playground) is a large-scale installation on the terrace of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. As the inaugural Hyundai Terrace Commission, Dyson's "monastic playground" invites visitors to engage with the artwork through touch, sitting, and tactile exploration, transforming the terrace into an immersive, interactive experience.

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.
