From the X Initiative website

On the fourth floor of X Initiative, New York-based artist Hans Haacke will present his first solo exhibition in a New York institution since 1986. The artist will display reinterpretations of some of his historical works along with new pieces conceived for this presentation. Weather, or not will combine large-scale kinetic installations, photographs, and text-based works in a dramatically experiential environment. The show will address political issues of the present and natural processes that the artist has been exploring for over 40 years. Haacke has taken a wide variety of approaches to core issues such as economics, politics, and ecology. His work combines fundamental critical positions with radical gestures, which make his practice even more relevant today.
