Modern Lab: There is nothing to see here
October 30, 2010–April 24, 2011
October 30, 2010–April 24, 2011
The Modern Lab is a small gallery dedicated to focused installations of modern and contemporary works in a variety of media from the Gallery's collection.
Verging on invisibility or immateriality, these works can provoke, mystify, or even
go unnoticed. The very difficulty of seeing them demands an extraordinary
patience in viewing them. Some emphasize the basic properties of their medium,
be it photography, drawing, or sculpture, while others make it difficult to tell just what
the medium is. Still others play with the distinction between language and image. And
yet, in a world inundated with visual information, these works all revive the act of close
looking as a source of meaning.

Schedule: National Gallery of Art, October 30, 2010–April 24, 2011
