Looking At Music + MoMA There's a must-see show opening at MoMA called Looking At Music. It opens 08.18.08 and runs through 01.05.09. "Looking at Music explores the dynamic cross-fertilizations among music, video, installation, and what was known as mixed media art in the decade after 1965. Rapid changes in technology can be traced in early music videos by The Beatles, David Bowie, Captain Beefheart, The Residents, and Devo, all drawn from the Museum's collection. They are characterized by the same raw innocence that can be found in the small-press publications and artists' books that emerged as an important forum for writers, artists, and radical thinkers investigating the novel art forms of the day." Also in the show: Laurie Anderson, John Cage, Ray Johnson, Yoko Ono, Bruce Nauman, Nam June Paik, and many more. Get more info here. Accompanying the exhibit is a series of film screenings. Included in the series: Wavelength by Michael Snow, Scorpio Rising by Kenneth Anger, Hello Again by The Cars (directed by Andy Warhol), Sharkey's Day by Laurie Anderson, Apple GarageBand Auto Tune Demonstration by Cory Arcangel, and more.
