June 7 - August 6 Who is Watching the Watchers?

Artist Ai Weiwei, and architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron open Hansel and Gretel in the Park Avenue Armory in NYC. The large installation is a comment on our state of surveillance. The installation creates an environment surveilled by cameras and drones.

The project is documented at https://hanselgretelarmory.com/, which includes a livestream of the visitors to the installation and the history of drones and surveillance.
