Take Two. Worlds and Views: Contemporary Art from the Collection - MoMA Audio

The approximately fifty works in Take Two are combined in unexpected cross-generational groupings and thematic ensembles. The striking variety of works—video, audio pieces, photography, painting, multi-part works on paper, and large-scale installations—together propose a series of conversations and confrontations among the works and accentuate important innovations in art made between 1965 and the present. Take Two addresses three significant preoccupations in contemporary art: shifting perceptions of identity; explorations of the political landscape; and the notion of the sublime and the dematerialization of the art object. Take Two features a number of significant recent acquisitions that have not previously been exhibited, including works by Marina Abramovic, James Lee Byars, Janet Cardiff, Mona Hatoum, Gary Hill, Rudolph Schwartzkogler, and Yinka Shonibare.
