Directions: Browse the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) exhibition history webpage: https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/history/ (Links to an external site.). Explore a few exhibitions from the 1930s and 1940s.
Address the following questions:
- In 1-2 pages (12 point font, double spaced) please reflect on your experience searching through MoMA’s digitized exhibition history records. What kinds of primary sources did you encounter, and what kinds of information do these resources convey?
You also may choose to address any of the following questions in your writing:
- Have you ever worked with archival materials in previous research projects?
- Does anything stand out to you or surprise you about these kinds of archival documents?
- What other kinds of information would be helpful in order to further research these exhibitions?
2. Select a particular MoMA exhibition between 1930 and 1949 to describe and analyze in an additional 1-2 pages (12 point font, double spaced).
You may address any of the following questions in your writing:
- Drawing from your consideration of primary source documents, what aspects of the exhibition are notable to you and why?
- What is the exhibition narrative, or theme of the show?
- Do any images of the show provide a sense of how museum visitors would have experienced the arrangement of artworks or objects in space?
- What kinds of unanswered questions do you have about this exhibition?
- Does this exhibition differ from your expectation of museum gallery exhibitions of modern art today? If so, how?
Please use MLA parenthetical citations or Chicago style footnotes and include a works cited page. You should not need to refer to sources beyond the documents you are browsing on the MoMA website, although you have the option of referencing the Christoph Grunenberg text “The Politics of Presentation: The Museum of Modern Art.”
