The art: Francis Alys, Tornado (still from a 39-minute video), 2000-2010. The news: “Joplin, Mo. Tornado is deadliest since 1953, death toll at 117,” by Nicholas Riccardi and Michael Muskal in the Los Angeles Times. The source: Collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. On view now in “Francis Alys: A Story of Deception.” At MoMA’s exhibition website, where you can see a video of the piece, the museum presents a narrative for how Alys intended the piece to be read. This week it reads mostly as ‘danger, flirted with.’
