On the nineteenth anniversary of 9/11, we're sharing a sound installation by Stephen Vitiello from the Whitney's collection. Vitiello began making recordings fr...om his studio on the 91st floor of Tower One of the World Trade Center while participating in the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's artist-in-residence program. Based on a recording Vitiello made the day after Hurricane Floyd struck New York in September 1999, this work captures the noises of the swaying building stressed by the fierce winds. Shown at the 2002 Whitney Biennial in the wake of the events of September 11, 2001, the piece assumed the status of an unwitting memorial to all that was lost. Stephen Vitiello, World Trade Center Recordings: Winds After Hurricane Floyd (excerpt), 1999/2002. Sound installation, 8:20 min., with DVD surround sound mix and chromogenic print face mounted to plexiglass and mounted on aluminum. Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; purchase with funds from the Contemporary Painting and Sculpture Committee 2003.89. 1999/2002 Stephen Vitiello

The twin beams of Tribute in Light reach up to four miles into the sky and are comprised of eighty-eight 7,000-watt xenon lightbulbs positioned into two 48-foot... squares, echoing the shape and orientation of the Twin Towers. The installation can be viewed from a 60-mile radius around lower Manhattan. If you are in the NYC area, be sure to look up tonight. We’re testing Tribute in Light in preparation for the 19th anniversary of 9/11. www.911memorial.org/tributeinlight See more
