Heidi Neilson

Heidi Neilson’s Moon Arrow glides around a wheel pointing to the direction of the moon, whether invisible in the sky or on the other side of the globe. The piece marks time through the movements of the moon, but also re-orients us to our position in the vastness of the galaxy, as small blips on an enormous orb spinning through space. Installed along the East River with a view of Manhattan, viewers can see the arrow sync and diverge with the tides and flow of city activity. A time lapse of the project is available on the website moonarrow.net

Neilson spoke about their work for our Exhibition Audio Guide.

‘Chronos Cosmos: Deep Time, Open Space’ transforms Socrates Sculpture Park into a gateway to the universe, presenting artworks that consider space, time, and matter in relationship to celestial entities and earth-bound processes. In the open-air environment of the Long Island City waterfront park, the exhibition uses scale to put the universe in context, creating connection points to space and time.
