| Long Island City, NY Encapsulated in a matrixlike metal cage—like an otherworldly sea urchin in a lobster trap—the structure is made from a titanium-treated nylon fabric that neutralizes nearby pollutants, effectively cleaning the surrounding air. And the spikes themselves are activated, emitting music and a light mist, for revelers looking to cool off. On view through September 8; momaps1.org |

| Château de Versailles, France One of the outdoor pieces, Blue Champagne, comprises two 30-foot-tall candlestick-like structures (one seen here) studded with thousands of LED-lit Champagne bottles and installed in shallow pools near the palace’s terrace. It’s a display of bubbly extravagance that seems to conjure the spirit of Versailles’s most famous resident, Marie Antoinette. On view through September 30; vasconcelos-versailles.com |

| Light Shines Out of Me by Anya Gallaccio Jupiter Artland, Edinburgh, Scotland One of several new commissions at the bucolic Edinburgh sculpture park, Gallaccio’s Light Shines Out of Me is a dazzling otherworldly crater lined with amethyst crystals and volcanic glass. The Scottish artist often incorporates elements of nature into her sculptures and installations, and this piece—a kind of imaginary excavation—alludes to the rich and unexpected wonders that lie beneath the earth’s surface. On view indefinitely. jupiterartland.org |
