About seas and kilometers

That doesn’t count as exhibition, or does it?

In fact, it is just a part of collection occupying only one wall, and one would generally pass it by – not this time. Actually, I was to pass by when got the sense I’m walking along the sea – that was it.

Jan Dibbet’s  “Dutch mountain – Big Sea” is a panoramic photo of a seashore. The work right next to it is “10 km 1:5000”  by Stanley Brouwn –  10 km line drown 1 cm per 5000 meters.

While they are independent works spearing one wall, the wall reinforces  the merger between these two. It may be seen as a movement project: one’s not in the museum when going by, and what a great opportunity to “run” 10 km in a second (use your eyes)!

Visiting won’t take long, MoMA’s waiting!

 

“Sum of days” (August 24–November 14, 2011)

Have you spent even one day behind the piles of textbooks in the library? So you’ve gained something (hope much), but missed other stuff. To make up for it, you can go to the “Sum of Days” at the MoMA.

If you hear voices at arrival without seeing any people (which is highly unlikely, buuut) – that’s all right. That’s actually what it all about. Later you’ll see microphones, as well as loudspeakers, hanging all around the room. These record what you’ve missed not being there and then play it back. However, as it happens to events of the past, the recording is being done over these of previous days. To mention, there are musical performances  being held from time to time (oh, those memorable times!) So if you are to visit – you are to visit in time of one of these to add to your experience at the installation. Aaaand, don’t forget to say something and become a part of the Art.
