Art Fuses With Urbanity in a Redesign of the Modern
go to article
After two and a half years, the MOMA is back with a new look! This article describes in detail how this new museum architecture is a work of art in itself and in the way it embraces the surrounding landscape and past & present traditions. Also interesting is two audio slideshows given by a curator and an architectural critic. The curator, John Elderfield, gave a brief but very interesting account of the process (exhibition design, conservation etc) that has gone into these two and half years to prepare for MOMA's re-opening.

More news on the exhibition preparation and installation in the MOMA. Jennifer Russell, deputy director for exhibitions, relived her two-and-a-half-year race to transport, store and reinstall the Modern's priceless permanent collection in time for the museum's reopening.
