ニューヨーク近代美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク近代美術館Instagram)「Instead of Piet Mondrian's famous black lines, in “Broadway Boogie Woogie” we see a yellow grid punctuated by red, blue, and white squares —like bumper-to-bumper cars on Manhattan’s busy streets. The title refers to both the city’s jazz scene and Broadway, the Manhattan thoroughfare that diagonally bisects much of the island. Indeed, the painting can be read as a map, a cartographic impression of the grid city’s congested streets. Plenty of art in MoMA’s collection directly addresses the changing environment, pollution, and sustainability, whether through a documentary, utopian, or dystopian lens. But what happens when we revisit familiar favorites that aren’t directly about the environment, and discover new ways of thinking about their materials, their fields of color, and their relationship to the planet? For this Earth Month, Carson Chan, curator in the Department of Architecture and Design and director of the Emilio Ambasz Institute for the Joint Study of the Built and Natural Environment, has written five ecologically minded wall labels for art in our galleries—a challenge for us all to continue to see our world anew.
