If you’re in or happen to find yourself in NYC, you MUST go see the Sturtevant exhibition, Sturtevant: Double Trouble, currently up at MoMA. This is a quick post, and I’m writing a bit on her practice as we speak, but for now three key factors to keep in mind when seeing her work. One, the difference between copying and reproduction; two, the performative aspects of and to her work; and three, materiality.

You won’t be disappointed. Up now until February 22, 2015.
