I finished classes yesterday, and had no plans for today, so I decided to go to
MOMA and check out their new exhibits. On the second floor, there is a wonderful performance art piece titled
Performance 9: Allora & Calzadilla. Every hour, on the half hour, an artist plays the fourth movement of Beethoven’s ninth Symphony (Ode to Joy). However, there is a hole carved out of the piano, where the artist stands—forcing him/her to play both upside down and backwards! While playing, the artist simultaneously moves throughout the atrium!
I also really enjoyed the
New Photography 2010: Roe Ethridge, Elad Lassry, Alex Prager, Amanda Ross-Ho exhibit. In particular, I enjoyed Alex Prager's work the most. I found his photographs to be very high glamor, even if the content was mundane. They also looked like advertisements, and bore a great resemblance to the Miu Miu print campaigns.
