Ocean Eyes

MAC is a public arts center and performance space that hosts performances and an artists’ residency program. It contains 26 studios, an amphitheater, and a stage. While confronting the problem of erosion and political dissonance around Montauk’s long-term protection plan, this project explores the relationship between instability and stability. The final design of this space is composed of steel rings held by a concrete skin attached by a wooden lattice structure. Here exists dialectic between the structure and the ocean. The structure rolls in response to the shifting tides. The act of rolling records time, turning this structure into an instrument for measurement and analysis. Something that is constantly redefined through the shifting of contexts. Ultimately, this structure provides stability for unstable times through constant movement and change as it directly responds to nature.
