“Behind this mask, another mask; I will never be done with removing all these faces,” wrote artist and poet Claude Cahun in 1930. Throughout the 20th century, artists have imagined the body and ideas of the self as fluid and open to ongoing transformations. Vital Signs includes over 100 works by artists who question what it means to be an individual within a larger society—and how socially sustained categories such as gender, race, and sexual identity are rooted in abstraction. Much of the work in Vital Signs was made by women or gender-expansive artists. The exhibition suggests fresh perspectives on celebrated works from MoMA’s collection by artists such as Frida Kahlo, Ana Mendieta, Louise Bourgeois, and Senga Nengudi, as well as works on view at the Museum for the first time by artists including Belkis Ayón, Ted Joans, and Rosemary Mayer. Some artists explore how we project, distort, and create identities through acts of play, empathy, or control. Others focus on the body’s interior—both real and imagined—or look to the world outside, forming newly imagined combinations of the human and the non-human. Full of life, Vital Signs illuminates some of the ways that artists reflect on abstraction in its broadest social senses while expanding ideas around what it means to be alive and to connect with others.

We were there the day that the tree arrived! Many people crowded around to watch the unveiling. The ice skating ring was also opened to the public.

Chicago The Musical

Classic tracks, too camouflage performances, the band scene is seamless with dancers, and the charm of Broadway musicals is infinite. Be sure to experience it in New York. The stage is not big, the seats are basically not too bad, and you can see the dancers&#39; wonderful moments.

Trip.com The service is very good. It is worth watching, the view is particularly wide, and the photos are more filmed. There is no cable pull under the 24-meter cantilever, 2.7 meter glass is strongly tilted 6.6, and the building has a high gold content. Trip.com buying tickets is more cost-effective than buying tickets on the spot. Especially recommended.
