"1969" Exhibition

poster for "1969" Exhibition

This event has ended.
At MOMA PS1
Media: Painting, Photography, Prints, Sculpture, Film

This will be the first exhibition at P.S.1 of works drawn from virtually all of the collecting areas of The Museum of Modern Art and will fill P.S.1’s second-floor galleries with examples of painting, sculpture, photography, print, illustrated books, design, drawing, media, and film, nearly all produced during the year 1969. These works will explore the artistic aesthetic incited by a period marked with revolution and socio-political tumult. Within the collection show will be a series of interventions by a current generation of artists whose work will refract the concerns of 1969 and the MoMA collection forty years after the original date and on the 80th anniversary of the museum.

some exhibitions awaken a crazy kleptomaniac tendency in me-- i really wanted to take the sweet richard pettibone stella. i did not have enough time to really absorb every detail of this exhibition. this is one of those shows that you can not-- and should not-- breeze through, and if you're like me, it will make you reminisce about the "old days" (even though you weren't born yet.)
