scattered project notes
project intent/goals:
*transparent critique of the MoMA
*must be at the MoMA when working on the project
-analysis:
museum's structure
rules and regulations
membership/VIP events
-case study
renovation and increase in ticket prices
-MoMA as a "model"
similarities to other architectural structures spatially and sensorially
(shop, restaurant, escalator, crowds etc similar to malls)
-using space to reveal information
-subverting limitations
questions:
-how does outside context exist in relationship to the museum and what does it mean for the MoMA to go outside(advertising..) ?
starting the process....
*how do I become the conduit?
finding my role
-documentation-artistic visualizations of time spent at the MoMA

Jean Nouvel and the MoMA
"...melding of cultural and commercial worlds.."
"...the Modern pressed for a talented architect, insisting on veto power over the selection."
"Architecture is a form of marketing now..."
"...Mr Nouvel sees the modern grid as confining and dogmatic. His tower's contorted forms are a scream for freedom."
"In short, it would have to embrace a fearlessness that it hasn't shown in decades."
"MoMA would do well to take a cue from Ruskin, who wrote that great art, whether expressed in words, colors or stones, does not say the same thing over and over again."
