Earlier this year Martha Rosler took over the Museum of Modern Art’s atrium with her Meta-Monumental Garage Sale. He work is back at MoMA now in “Performing Histories (1),” an exhibition that features an even more pointed work by Rosler: She Sees in Herself a New Woman Everyday (1976). The piece is made up of 12 color photographs of a woman’s shoes and legs arranged in a grid on the floor. (A detail from one of the 12 is above.) The piece includes sound of a woman having a talk with her own mother. The piece raises questions about gender and how gender-related identity is constructed.

This is the first week Martha Rosler’s “Meta-Monumental Garage Sale” is on view at the Museum of Modern Art. The garage sale — yes, it really is a garage sale! — is open for business in the museum’s cavernous atrium through November 30.
MoMA has put up a fun website for the show, complete with a webcam of commerce in action. And don’t miss Rosler’s ‘artist’s newspaper’ for the show!

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Martha Rosler. An exhibition of Rosler’s pictures of Cuba, taken in January, 1981, are on view now at Mitchell-Innes & Nash in Chelsea. Rosler and I talked last week in front of a live audience at the Baltimore Museum of Art.
Rosler will receive her first solo show at the Museum of Modern Art this November when MoMA hosts Rosler’s “Meta-Monumental Garage Sale” in the museum’s atrium.

I wonder if this is the greatest artwork about the Iraq War…
