Upon arriving at the MOMA I had no
idea of what to expect for the day. However, once I met Steven Wheeler I knew
this was not going to be a typical trip to MOMA.
Mr. Wheeler
an art registrar for the Design and Architecture Department at MOMA started by
taking us on a trip behind the scenes of an installation that was happening
that day. Although, the staff was not present seeing as they were at lunch this
behind the scene view allowed for some interesting knowledge of how an
installation takes place. One such example of this knowledge is the fact that
labeled pieces of paper designed to resemble the basic forms of specific art
works were placed around the room as if a map of the exhibitions layout. Also how
MOMA is keeping up with the technology. The later being a similar factor of
both museum The Newark Museum and MOMA, visits.
After
touring the Architecture and Design we were able to tour the rest of the
museum. Specifically, focused on a tour Steven Wheeler had planned. In all it
was a fascinating day that was full of information I never thought about.
