Artist's Choice: Herzog and de Meuron
Artist's Choice: Herzog & de Meuron is the seventh exhibition in MoMA's Artist's Choice series, in which contemporary artists are invited to select, juxtapose, and comment on works from the Museum's collection.
Drawing from across the Museum's departmental collections, the internationally renowned architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron approach the collection not as conventional curators, but as architects.
As such, they conceive of the art gallery as a contemporary cathedral.
Through this architectural metaphor, they construct surprising spatial relationships among the artworks and the audience, challenging our expectations of traditional installations and exposing our perceptions of the ways in which various mediums fail or succeed to communicate meaning.
The exhibition can be viewed between June 21, 2006 and September 25, 2006.
