SHIFTING PERSPECTIVE

In the second part of MOMA2000, in which the New York Museum of Modern Art has dismantled and rearranged their permanent collection, “Making Choices” examines the years between 1920 – 1960. “Iconic works are plucked from their usual place in Art 101 and placed in a new context; lesser-known works, rarely seen, emerge from museum storage; all the different arts are mixed together.” In this fashion, “the shows together ask not only that you, the viewer, encompass contradiction and paradox but that you acknowledge that good and evil sometimes draw from the same fires in the heart. Which is not a bad way to know the twentieth century.” – New York Magazine
