new york city


so many people crammed on this island, most them looking vaguely stressed out which I decided had to do with how long it takes to get anywhere in this city. MOMA is redesigned, more space=more artworks on view. Amazing that camera use is not restricted, seemed as if every second person was busy taking digital images of the artworks. So I began taking digital images of people taking pictures.
All this work best viewed on weekdays, not holidays, it's not that spacious.

We had a discussion about the 'value' of works like Warhol's campbell soup cans, realized how many people, however well they are educated, don't understand why contemporary artworks are considered art or just aren't interested in seeing popular or media imagery in a museum.
