Artists Elmgreen & Dragset’s share The Hive, a new and permanent installation affixed to the ceiling of Moynihan Train Hall in New York City’s Pennsylvania Station, the busiest transportation hub in North America. The work is based on “City in the Sky” installation on the view at Gallery Perrotin.

Both City in the Sky and The Hive — produced only one year apart — manifest an imaginary city in the form of a scaled model, installed upside-down. With technological precision, this cityscape captures the multiplicity and synergy of the world’s metropolises. It is a kaleidoscopic installation, consisting of a dense network of illuminated skyscrapers and modern tower buildings, both real and fictional.
