Out of Time

The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York

A Contemporary View

Repeat, fast-forward, rewind, pause, recycle, live, delay: these terms are part of the language we use to describe how temporality is manipulated in the contemporary world. Recent technological advances facilitate an unprecedented alteration, compression, and extension of time. These new possibilities coexist with a vision of history as fractured, contradictory, and subject to multiple interpretations.

The present display of contemporary art from the Museum’s collection explores some of the tensions embedded in recent experiences of time, as expressed in art made in the past few decades. These experiences include watching time pass, as in Andy Warhol’s Empire; marking, suspending, condensing, or elongating its flow, exemplified here by the work of Martin Creed or Jeff Koons; subjecting the creative process to time, as William Anastasi, Janine Antoni, and Robert Morris do; developing narratives based on cyclical, organic, or illogical models of time, as may be seen in the video work of Bill Viola and Pipilotti Rist; addressing history through the memory of oppressions, displacements, and alienation, as Carrie Mae Weems and Jane and Louise Wilson do; and considering how the past inflects the present, an experience suggested by the work of Shirazeh Houshiary and Gerhard Richter.

Out of Time is not organized chronologically; rather, it endeavors to draw connections across decades and across a variety of mediums, illustrating the interdisciplinary character of contemporary art. The history of contemporary art is in the process of being written, updated, and revised, and for this reason the presentation in the Contemporary Galleries changes at least once a year.

Organized by Joachim Pissarro, Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, and Eva Respini, Assistant Curator, Department of Photography, in consultation with Luis Enrique Pe'rez-Oramas, Adjunct Curator, Department of Drawings.


Projects 83: Monika Sosnowska
August 30-November 27, 2006

Projects 83 introduces the work of Monika Sosnowska, (b. 1972), an artist living in Warsaw, Poland. Sosnowska creates architecturally structured installations that dramatically transform a viewer's perception and experience of a space. She makes her works in response to a given setting, and this installation has been conceived specifically for The Museum of Modern Art. The artist develops these projects via a process based on paper maquettes that are beautiful works of art in themselves. Although Sosnowska has exhibited extensively in Europe during the past five years, this is her first solo exhibition at a gallery or museum in the United States. This project is presented in the Contemporary Galleries, adjacent to the exhibition Out of Time: A Contemporary View.

Organized by Ann Temkin, Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture.
