Garage Sale in a Museum




For her first solo exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, Martha Rosler (Brooklyn, New York) presents her work Garage Sale in The Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium from November 17 to 30, 2012. Rosler, through her artistic practice, teaching, and writing, is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of her generation. For more than 40 years, Rosler has made “art about the commonplace, art that illuminates social life,” examining the everyday through photography, performance, video, and installation.

Just another example of "life is art, art is life." I just love the idea of bringing an everyday life event into the highly praised cultural destination. Really wish I could be there to explore and haggle the price!
