A major exhibition of 18 interactive works featuring playful benches, rooms made of jetting water and a mirror labyrinth will be on display in the park from May 17, 2015 to April 17, 2016. The exhibition by Danish artist Jeppe Hein has been designed specifically for public interaction at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Visitors entering the park at Pier 1 will encounter Hein’s iconic water sculpture, Appearing Rooms installed on the Bridge View Lawn. Vertical jets of water will gradually appear forming seven-foot-tall “walls”, which moments later will disappear, enabling visitors to move to different “rooms”. This part of the exhibition opens Saturday 5/16 at 4 pm and will be open until September 28 daily from 9 am to 9 pm. Expect some serious water play for kids and bring the bathing suits.

The second component is a large-scale Mirror Labyrinth to be installed at Pier 3 that features rows of arched mirrors, letting visitors walk through while watching their reflections multiply.
The third body of work, 16 Modified Social Benches with their unconventional angled, curved, twisted, and bent forms, will be on view throughout the park.
