Installation view of Kelly Akashi's Monument (Altadena) (2026) at the Whitney Biennial 2026. A translucent glass sculpture resembling a stepped chimney or architectural tower stands on the Whitney Museum's outdoor terrace. Made of stacked glass blocks, the structure rises from a broad base into a tall vertical form. A winding path of glass pavers extends from the foreground toward the sculpture, suggesting a walkway or stream. The work is set against a backdrop of low-rise buildings and the Manhattan skyline beneath a pale blue sky.

Abstract shapes in varied shades of blue with a few pale pink areas create a structured vertical pattern across a mottled gray background, alternatively seeming to cohere into a row of flowers or a printer’s text, then setting back into decorative geometries that evoke eastern architectural patterns.

A group of adults and children are gathered in a brightly lit room at the Whitney Museum, engaging in a creative activity with colorful magnetic geometric shapes. The shapes are arranged on a large white wall, forming a vibrant mosaic. Some participants are standing, while others are kneeling or sitting on the floor. The room has a clean, modern design with round blue and gray rugs scattered on the wooden floor. The atmosphere appears lively and collaborative.
