Opening in 2021
Madison Square Park

Installation

For Madison Square Park Conservancy’s 40th public art commission, Maya Lin will realize a new, site-responsive installation that brings into focus the ravages of climate change on woodlands around the world. Ghost Forest will take the form of a towering grove of spectral cedar trees, all sourced from the region and presented in sharp contrast to the Park’s lush tree line. The installation builds on Lin’s practice of addressing climate change within her work and serves as a call to action to the 60,000 visitors who pass through the Park daily.

Starting Nov. 2 2021, at SWG3 Studios, Glasgow, and online.

In concert with the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), scheduled to take place in Scotland, this November, The New York Times is setting up a 10-day event featuring live journalism, thought leadership and action on climate change. Called The New York Times Climate Hub, it will be moderated by climate reporter Somini Sengupta.
