This is probably going to sound really pretentious but I didn't really like the Dadaglobe???? I felt like it was really out of place in a setting like Moma. Obviously they're one of a very select few organizations who can afford to put something like it together but it's really hard to go from piece to piece of art which is literally screaming FUCK THE ART HEIRARCHY-- to the point of having those words WRITTEN ON THE PIECES-- in a place as strictly regulated and curated as MOMA. I feel like I would have preferred it much more in a smaller venue. Even a setting like Salmagundi would have been an improvement. Someplace where the dry, archival voice of the art descriptions didn't jar quite so strongly with the subject matter. Like I don't know quite how much cognitive dissonance you need to read a magazine column about how much the author hates separating art from the populace and then press it between two panes of glass and describe it as "a list of contributors names and locations". But. Nah.

Try a #Duchampian perspective. Seeing #MoMA's #Dadaglobe through #MarcelDuchamp's "To Be Looked at (from the Other Side of the Glass) with One Eye, Close to, for Almost an Hour," 1918, oil, silver leaf, lead wire, and magnifying lens on glass (cracked), mounted between panes of glass in a standing metal frame #DadaglobeReconstructed #Dada (at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art)
