Here is Every

I spent a late February morning exploring contemporary art at MOMA, including works by Annette Messager and Alice Aycock.



I also experienced an installation of the work of Tehching Hsieh, "Cage Piece."
You can read the review about his work in today's New York Times (Sunday, March 1). Captivating.

Described by curator Klaus Biesenbach as "an ode to freedom," we must consider at once displacement and meditation. Much of Hsieh's work has to do with time itself: "wasting time is my concept of life."

Disturbing yet tranquil. Perhaps in this time of economic uncertainty, art will allow us to explore the inner life more fully and creatively.

Here's my photo from inside the MOMA, looking out into the world, my inner and external state transformed by the art.
