The Museum of Modern Art

Experience “The Clock” before anyone else, only for MoMA Members! Christian Marclay’s 24-hour cinematic marvel, “The Clock,” is a montage of over 1,000 film and TV clips depicting clocks and other references to time, each synced perfectly to real time. The work is both a tour-de-force remix of film history and a functioning timepiece. “The Clock” speaks to cinema’s powerful ability to reflect real life and also provide an escape from it. Marclay reframes our collective memory of movies as an uncanny confrontation with ourselves. The exhibition opens November 10, but #MoMAMembers can see it first from November 7 – 9.

What makes art scary? In our latest Drawn to MoMA, cartoonist and animator Dash Shaw creates a story about how we relate to frightening artworks. Shaw says he was after more than a seasonally creepy comic: “It’s more about the joy of conversation around art. I like making analogues because they make sensibilities clear.” Read more on #MoMAMagazine → mo.ma/3Uj6JHl UNIQLO is MoMA’s proud partner of #ArtforAll — Dash Shaw. 2024.

A nostalgic inflatable chair with an AI twist! In a new exhibition, Designer Norman Teague used artificial intelligence to reinterpret familiar objects to bridge the past and future of design. Drawing inspiration from artists and designers traditionally excluded from museums, Teague prompted AI to think about chairs covered in bright feathers and fur, African designer clocks, boomboxes with denim cushions, and much more. ?? See these reimaginings alongside objects from MoMA’s collection, on view now. ??? Read an interview on #MoMAMagazine with Teague on why design is better with more voices added to the mix, and how to use Artificial Intelligence like a DJ → mo.ma/4f8ty8F The artist’s visualizations seen in this exhibition were created through the use of Adobe Firefly, Adobe’s family of generative AI models, and with the invaluable assistance of the Adobe team. — [1] Paolo Lomazzi, Donato D’Urbino, Jonathan De Pas. “Blow Inflatable Armchair.” 1967.

Surprise and collaboration lead to something surreal with exquisite corpse.??? Exquisite corpse is a game that became popular in the 1920s, when artists from the Surrealist movement used it to create art together. Each person takes turns writing or drawing on a piece of paper, folds it to hide their part, then passes it to the next player to add more.. ?? To celebrate the 100 year anniversary of Surrealism, we created a short documentary about the game. Watch the full episode → mo.ma/4f8qqJI

This artwork is a spiritual environment for all the senses. When artist Montien Boonma was searching for a cure for his wife’s cancer, he turned to traditional Thai medicine and the healing power of smell. “House of Hope” is an immersive space filled with thousands of bead strands hanging above a pyramid of painted wooden steps. The surrounding wall painting suggests clouds or incense smoke from Buddhist temples. In this video, Boonma's former assistant Apisit Nongbua reflects on the creation of the installation.

Why does this artwork smell? In this installation by artist Mike Kelley, clusters of stuffed animals playfully draw you in, bringing up childhood memories. But when large “deodorizers,” shiny sculptures on the walls, spray a disinfectant on the candy-colored creatures, they become suddenly ominous. The smell fills the gallery and unlocks new questions: Why do these need to be cleaned? What’s wrong with them? ?? See (and smell) Kelley’s installation, on view now at MoMA. ??
