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.

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.

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.

The left half of the background is patterned hashmarks, and the title and artist’s name are stenciled across the top.
