Exquisite Corpses: Drawing and Disfiguration

March 14, 2012–July 09, 2012

In a collaborative, chance-based drawing game known as the exquisite corpse, Surrealist artists subjected the human body to distortions and juxtapositions that resulted in fantastic composite figures. This exhibition considers how this and related operations – in which the body is dismembered or reassembled, swollen or multiplied, propped with prosthetics or fused with nature and the machine – recur throughout the twentieth century and to the present. Artists from André Masson and Joan Miró, to Louise Bourgeois and Robert Gober, to Mark Manders and Nicola Tyson, distort and disorient our most familiar of referents, playing out personal, cultural, or social anxieties and desires on unwitting anatomies. If art history reveals an unending impulse to render the human figure, as a symbol of potential perfection and a system of primary organization, these works show that artists have just as persistently been driven to disfiguration. The exhibition is organized by Samantha Friedman, Curatorial Assistant, with Jodi Hauptman, Curator, Department of Drawings, The Museum of Modern Art.

Drawings Collection Exhibitions are made possible by Hanjin Shipping.

Canadian Front 2012

March 14–19, 2012

The ninth annual edition of Canadian Front presents the New York premieres of 11 recent Canadian features and one short. In addition to Philippe Falardeau's drama Monsieur Lazhar, Canada's official Academy Award entry in the foreign-language category, this year's selection is distinguished by a larger number of comedies than usual—from Canada's East (Andrew Bush's Roller Town, from Nova Scotia) and West (Aaron Houston's Sunflower Hour, from British Columbia) coasts, and from the more traditional filmmaking centers of Quebec (Ken Scott's Starbuck) and Ontario (Ingrid Veninger's I Am a Good person, I Am a Bad Person). Minority communities are strongly represented as well, especially in Ivan Grbovic's debut film, Romeo 11, about Montreal's Lebanese community, and Yves Sioui Durand's Mesnak, which was shot in part in the Innu language.

Among those making their return to MoMA are the Inuit filmmaker Zacharias Kanuk, with Sirmilik, a short film shot in Nanvit's National Park; and Jean-Marc Vallée, whose melodrama Café de Flore stars Vanessa Paradis and was shot in both Canada and France. Two unusual and compelling documentaries complete the selection: Briggite Poupart's Over My Dead Body examines the compromised life of Montreal choreographer David St-Pierre, and Carl Leblanc's The Heart of Auschwitz investigates an extraordinary object in the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre.
Organized by Laurence Kardish, Senior, Curator, Department of Film. Presented in association with Telefilm Canada, with thanks to Brigitte Hubmann, Principal Advisor, Telefilm Canada.

Vent'anni di UnDo.Net, un'opera d'arte ideata da artisti che hanno coinvolto centinaia di altri autori e operatori nella costruzione di un ecosistema, di un dispositivo che ha influito a più livelli sul fare arte.
UnDo.Net è un dispositivo di creazione di valore immateriale; pensato come "ecosistema" della cultura contemporanea, come modello partecipativo che sviluppi la condivisione di ricerche, risorse e conoscenze, la collaborazione e lo scambio.
In questi 20 anni UnDo.Net ha perseguito il suo scopo: inventare un nuovo spazio, che prima non esisteva, di sperimentazione e di ricerca, di confronto e di dialogo.


Oggi

I risultati di questo lavoro collettivo sono riuniti nelle migliaia di pagine online che raccolgono la storia di tutti noi che ci occupiamo d'arte. UnDo.Net è oggi un archivio vivo e vibrante dal profilo internazionale che contiene e collega tra loro approfondimenti e documenti su autori, eventi, situazioni, ricerche e pensiero. Un patrimonio di risorse per studiare, comprendere e per sviluppare nuovi progetti.
Anche in futuro UnDo.Net rimarra' consultabile e a disposizione di tutti gratuitamente.


Domani

Le differenti personalita' che costituiscono il team di UnDo.Net svilupperanno le proprie diverse professionalita'.
