The Shed, the architecturally ambitious new art space in New York City, has revealed its first group of commissions for the inaugural 2019 season.
They include a live production celebrating the influence of African American music conceived by film-maker Steve McQueen and developed by Quincy Jones, as well as a performance piece based on Euripides’ Greek tragedy Helen by the acclaimed poet Anne Carson, starring Ben Whishaw and Renee Fleming.
Set to open its doors next spring, the 200,000 sq ft structure, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Rockwell Group, will host, commission and produce the visual and performing arts, conceived of as a multi-disciplinary arts center located on the High Line, on the west side of Manhattan.
