A New MoMA

I worked with the photography department at MoMA on photography's role in the reimagined museum. I curated several vitrines of photographs from the P.J. Cohen Collection in the new fifth floor American galleries. The images were taken by an anonymous mid-century photo booth photographer c. 1930s-60s. Most were no larger than 2x2", but they presented a zany, earnest, accidental portrait of America, witnessed across this eclectic pool of some 500 photographs. The vitrines, and Cindy Shermanesque images, can be seen in the fifth floor American galleries..
