“From Francois Morellet’s randomized red and blue pixel patterned wallpaper decorating the lobby to Stan VanDerBeek’s epic “Movie-Drome” multimedia theater on the fourth floor, the exhibition is a dynamic testimony the impact of machinery on visual art. The show’s curators, Massimiliano Gioni and Gary Carrion-Murayari, have created a cabinet of curiosities that includes Utopia-seeking outsider artists from the 19th century, a Japanese collective of audio-visual poets, healing metal mobiles, and kinetic light sculptures.” - Kyle Chayka
