The New MoMA – White, White, Everywhere…

Robert Campbell feels letdown by the new Museum of Modern Art. “It isn’t bad, it’s just uninteresting. It’s the old MoMA all over again, only bigger. Here are the same-old same-old white walls and ceiling track lights, and then more white walls and more ceiling track lights. You feel like a lab rat in a snow maze. There’s no attempt to create memorable architectural space for the artworks to inhabit. Instead, seeing them spotlighted on these placeless, anonymous white walls is like seeing isolated images on a screen in an academic slide lecture.”
