MoMA Cubicle

Se presenta MoMA Cubicle, un libro-registro de la correspondencia enviada durante tres años, por el artista David Horvitz a Zanna Gilbert, editora e investigadora en el MoMA. Este material antes de ser libro formó parte de una exposición pública en el cubículo de la investigadora.

“David began sending me all kinds of mail beginning in the autumn of 2012. Each time something arrived I would store it carefully in my desk drawer until a small collection gathered. By December, I had over 40 assorted pieces of driftwood, envelopes full of sand,watercolour paintings, packets of seeds, thrift store paintings of flowers, and so on. Around that time a senior staff member in my department asked about this mail, explaining that any
artwork received by a museum employee should automatically become property of the museum. But, they asked, was this artwork or correspondence? And further, was it personal or professional? If personal, they suggested, perhaps I could receive it at home instead. Nevertheless, the unsolicited mail continued to arrive.” Zanna Gilbert
