Cornelia Parker’s PsychoBarn is the latest rooftop installation at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art—a chilling and also wholesome tribute to Hitchcock and Hopper. “> Just after 11 a.m. on a warm, humid Friday on the Metropolitan Museum of Arts roof garden, a dapperly dressed toddler rolled around the ground near the steps to Cornelia Parkers Transitional Object (PsychoBarn). I want to go inside! the child wailed, while his equally dapperly dressed father snapped photos of the barnlike structure, whichin fairness to the despondent little boylooks like a ramshackle haunted house on first view. Having seen frontal photos of the installation before my visit, Id hoped to wander around inside, too. But Parker had something far more clever notion in mind. Yes, the British artists piece is an homage to the eerie Bates home from Alfred Hitchcocks Psycho, as its title suggests. But when Parker first visited the roof garden in February 2015, she was mesmerized by the view and envisioned a big barn in contrast with the city skyline. Parkers piece is the fourth in a series of site-specific commissions for the Mets roof garden. Last years untitled installation by the artist Pierre Huyghe featured slabs of stone torn up from the terrace and stacked next to the spaces where they were uprooted; a boulder of the bedrock that supports most Manhattan skyscrapers; and a fish tank filled with colorful fish and a large lava rock.
