moca grand avenue: a place where a note from chris burden welcomes you to the staff elevator…
good thing that george herms piece is so heavy or else someone could just high-tail out that exit with it…
another photog eats it at MOCA…. garry winogrand decorates the corridor bridging the 1960s and circulating patrons from the entrance to the bathroom.
of course, as with the geffen, this contempo museo invites the hallway shit… seen here, a stalwart asher on the w/c. CONTEMPORARY ART EVEN TURNS A BATHROOM INTO THE SUBLIME!
second tier placement at the jewish museum :0(
In a lot of ways, The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA is just one big hallway… that said, there have been worse locals for the larr-dog. Big bummer for Richard Hawkins tho… last time skeet got hanged he had primo position.
cindy bernard really eats it… in a museum where everything is a hallway, the artist on the bathroom wall is untouchable.
ps1 is into hallway art for a number of different types of reasons. primarily: conceptual, institutional, and situational. above… w. kentridge goes institutional with procession… More below.
ps1 conceptual: why hello again mr. weiner….. is the sign taped next to yr piece part of the whole thing? that’s margaret seaworthy gothic, no?
ps1 situational (unfortunate): SO MUCH CONTEXT NEEDED TO BE SET FOR FOR 1969!!!!!!
