Nymag Moma

MoMA is—even with this show and the current Marlene Dumas survey—a place where very little work by women is on view, at least in the permanent collection. Rist’s installation comments on and reacts to this misogyny. She has hung magenta-colored draperies almost to the ceiling of the atrium, making it a ballroom, a Hopper movie theater, a bordello, or a living room.

    Sculptor Nina Tolstrup tries to mitigate the frustration with her latest invention, the Tip, a modern art piece that doubles as a mercifully simple timekeeper. The Lego-like shape lets you shut off the sound just by tilting the clock sideways, without the trouble of buttons or dials. The only drawback: This clock makes it even easier to ignore a weekday wake-up call.
