Liza Lou's recent work 'Continuous Mile,' an ambitious and engaging large-scale sculpture made of gleaming white beads, went on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on January 23, 2009. The work is a two-year loan from the artist and is on display on the second floor of the Museum's Lila Acheson Wallace Wing for modern and contemporary art. 'Continuous Mile' (2007-2008) is comprised of a mile-long length of rope woven entirely of tiny white glass beads and cotton, that has been coiled into a free-standing sculpture, approximately 77 inches in diameter and 32 inches in height. The sculpture was made by the artist and her team of South African studio assistants employing a traditional Zulu bead technique.
