"Multiplex: Directions in Art, 1970 to Now" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At The Museum of Modern Art
Media: Painting, Prints, Sculpture
Around 1970, a period in which established values and institutions came into question generally, there was also a shift in critical thinking about art. The term "pluralism" came to describe a complicated artistic terrain with a range of widely divergent approaches. Some of these practices defined new sensibilities, while others that had long been ignored gained new relevance. Mediums like video, photography, and performance challenged the authority of painting and sculpture, and some artists took to the streets or intervened in the landscape to escape the confines of the art gallery. An earlier view of modern art, with a mainstream flowing from one "ism" to another, had given way to a broader consideration of disparate practices. This framework for understanding art is still in place today. Organized by Deborah Wye, The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Chief Curator of Prints and Illustrated Books.
