Museum Of Contemporary: Art and Architecture : Together Again in New Museum of Contemporary Art
Those with long memories may recall the days when New York modern art institutions were not only in tune with contemporary culture but also determined to drive it forward.
At the New Museum of Contemporary Art, that spirit is back in force.
In late November, the museum broke ground on its new home on a decrepit strip of the Bowery on the Lower East Side.Other Paris museums of painting and sculpture than the two mentioned above, omitting here the galleries of modern-to-contemporary art, are the Petit Palais, with "A Century of French Art," the Rodin Museum, the Luxembourg Museum, the Cluny, for its antiquities and medieval treasures; and there are, of course, several private galleries, such as the Musee Jacquemart-Andre, the Musee Henner and the Musee Cognaci Jay, this on the boulevard des Capucines, almost opposite the Cafe de Paix. In the provinces, almost every regional capital has a museum of some interest, for it may be said that in France artistic creation "comes naturally" and has done so for many centuries.
Living in Motion : Design and Architecture for Flexible Dwelling Featuring work by such noted designers as Isamu Noguchi, Marcel Breuer, Charles and Ray Eames, and Philippe Starck, among many others, Living in Motion: Design and Architecture for Flexible Dwelling brings together over 150 objects, as well as films and more than 500 illustrations, from the realm of architecture and design to address flexibility and mobility in contemporary domestic life. Organized by the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany, Living in Motion will have its only U.S. showing at the Institute of Contemporary Art. Furniture, houses, and objects that incorporate flexibility and multi-functionalis m have long been associated with the modern and the contemporary. |
