Seeing Noguchi Through Her Eyes


Marie Menken's film 'Visual Variations on Noguchi,' shot almost 80 years ago at Isamu Noguchi's studio, is being shown for the first time at his museum. The avant-garde film captures Noguchi's sculptures in close-up, with a score added later. The exhibit challenges the idea of encyclopedic completeness in museums, presenting subjective experiences alongside the sculptures. The show also includes Noguchi's sculptures, offering a new perspective on his work. Another Menken film, 'Moonplay,' is also featured, providing a contrasting experience of motion and tranquility. The exhibit runs until February 4th at The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum.
