Category: Art MuseumsCool Site: July  2009
Recommended 2 times
Site that accompanied the MoMA exhibition of the same name. The exhibition closed on June 30, 2008. However, the Website includes images taken by visitors who were given special cell-phone cameras to wear that document their journeys through the show, thereby depicting a candid and experiential view of the exhibition (and one that is in accordance with the artist?s practice).
