Meta-Monumental Garage Sale November 28, 2012

For her first solo exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York-based artist Martha Rosler presents her work 'Meta-Monumental Garage Sale', a large-scale version of the classic American garage sale, in which Museum visitors can browse and buy second-hand goods organized, displayed, and sold by the artist. The installation fills MoMA's Marron Atrium with strange and everyday objects donated by the artist, MoMA staff, and the general public, creating a lively space for exchange between Rosler and her customers as they haggle over prices. If customers agree, they may be photographed with their purchases. The project also includes a newspaper and an active website.
