This summer, it seems like bigger is better! From piles of candy to massive mushrooms and giant nets, these exhibitions are interactive, larger than life, and — most importantly — photogenic!\u00a0Stay ahead of the game and follow our lead with this week’s installment of #InstagramThis. As always, we’ve uncovered the must-see (and must-Insta!) exhibitions of the summer. Here are the galleries and museums you absolutely cannot miss.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Felix Gonzalez-Torres<\/a><\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: David Zwirner Gallery,\u00a0537 West 20th Street<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: On view until July 14, 2017<\/p>\n

Where else can a pile of candy be both art and a treat for you to take with you? With beaded entryways and a baby blue go-go platform that you’re encouraged to perform on, this exhibition is an interactive experience that you’ll be glad you didn’t miss! On top of that, Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s art also happens to look great on camera.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Charlemagne Palestine’s Bear Mitzvah in Meshugahland<\/a><\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: The Jewish Museum<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: On view until August 6, 2017<\/p>\n

If you’re a sucker for a good pun like we are, you’ll head to Charlemagne Palestine’s exhibition at The Jewish Museum, where every available surface is covered in stuffed animals! And while you’re at The Jewish Museum, we also recommend stopping by\u00a0The Arcades: Contemporary Art and Walter Benjamin<\/em><\/a> to take a photo of your reflection\u00a0in Mungo Thomson’s\u00a0TIME\u00a0<\/em>magazine mirror.<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>:\u00a0Gagosian Gallery,\u00a0555 West 24th Street<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: On view until August 11, 2017<\/p>\n

Climb into a life-sized die, dizzy yourself through a maze of mirrored revolving doors, and walk amongst giant mushroom —\u00a0is this an art exhibition or an adult-sized playground? Decide for yourself with a visit to Gagosian Gallery, and remember to bring a friend who’ll take tons of photos for you and your Instagram.<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: Whitney Museum<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: On view until October 1, 2017<\/p>\n

Take a snapshot from one of the higher floors at the Whitney to capture the entire row of 6 pink glass cubes, or have a friend take your photo from across the cube for a cool filter. In any case, who can resist the stunning view of the New York City skyline this installation is set against?<\/p>\n

5. Young Architects Program 2017:\u00a0Lumen<\/em> by Jenny Sabin Studio<\/a><\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: MoMA PS1<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: Ongoing from June 29, 2017<\/p>\n

This grand, outdoors installment\u00a0is made of over 1 million yards of digitally knitted fiber that react to the heat and sunlight, subtly changing color during the day and glowing in the dark after sundown. Amazing, right? Go see it in person before it’s gone!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. James Turrell: Meeting<\/a><\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: MoMA PS1<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: Ongoing<\/p>\n

James Turrell converted a third-floor classroom as part of his signature Skyspaces. This open-air room makes\u00a0you look up at the ceiling that frames the sky into a work of art. During MoMA PS1’s Warm Up summer concerts, this installation\u00a0will be open until 9pm to allow visitors to both enjoy the music and the beautiful colors of the sunset.<\/p>\n
