The Martin Kippenberger show at the Museum of Modern Art has a larger-than-lifesize installation that takes over the whole first floor of an egg, sunny side up, alongside office desks of opportunity and failure. You can also see it from the sixth floor, where his large flyers, monochromatic film still-esque paintings, airbrushed paintings, abstract geometric paintings, sculptures, recordings, books, and other miscellaneous installations take over like 11 rooms. When I went there on a field trip it was a little too much so I had to sit down… excessiveness was his steez. It ends today, so please go check it out, but "The Printed Picture" is up till mid-July. It shows the matrices of prints from etchings of the Renaissance to contemporary photocopy technology. Here, I even made you a mix for your trip…
Senior print professors take us to the MoMa. That's my class.
