An Evening with Martha Rosler
The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York
The multimedia and performance artist presents a large-scale version of the classic American garage sale, which is currently installed in MoMA's Marron Atrium
MoMA's ongoing showcase for innovation on screen, Modern Mondays allows contemporary filmmakers and moving image artists to present their work directly to audiences. On November 26, multimedia and performance artist Martha Rosler presents her work Meta-Monumental Garage Sale, which is currently installed in MoMA's Marron Atrium. For her first solo exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, multimedia and performance artist Martha Rosler presents a large-scale version of the classic American garage sale, in which second-hand goods and castoffs are organized, displayed, and sold by the artist. For this evening, the artist joins curator Sabine Breitwieser in a discussion about the context and development of this work, which premiered as Monumental Garage Sale in the art gallery of the University of California, San Diego, in 1973. The Monumental Garage Sale will be discussed along with additional, recently acquired works by the artist, such as the photo-and-audio installation She Sees in Herself a New Woman Every Day (1976), on view in MoMA's Media Gallery as part of the exhibition Performing Histories (1). Monday, november 26, 7:00 p.m., Theater 2.
