Noguchi’s ties to Greece, which he called his “intellectual home”, and its long artistic history are also evident throughout the show, including in an online “visual collage” called Noguchi in Greece, Greece Within Noguchi, and a set of books Objects of Common Interest are working on that expands on the project. This can especially be seen in the installation in the sculpture garden, where opalescent acrylic “stones” made using a specially formulated secret process sit comfortably among Noguchi’s own Practice Rocks, and a 10ft-tall inflatable obelisk floats happily next to the sculptor’s hovering monoliths. Petaloti and Trampoukis share a sensibility with Noguchi of breaking down the rigid forms and functions of art “at the DNA level”, says Dakin Hart, the museum’s senior curator. Now, the playful, minimalist lamps, furniture and design pieces they create through their Brooklyn studio Objects of Common Interest find a common language with the Japanese sculptor’s work in an exhibition open by appointment. The design duo Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis, who split their time between Greece and New York, used to visit the Noguchi Museum, tucked away in a northern corner of Queens, when they were architecture students at Columbia University. Until February 13, 2022, The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, 9-01 33rd Road (at Vernon Boulevard), Long Island City, Queens Ferry Objects of Common Interest: Hard, Soft, and All Lit Up with Nowhere to Go Objects of Common Interest's Offerings–Rock III (2000) next to Isamu Noguchi's Practice Rocks in the museum's sculpture garden Photo: Brian W. The commission is Pendleton’s first solo presentation in a US institution, celebrating the rising star and his ability to poetically convey timely and historical issues through highly conceptual works. The cacophonous space is flooded with an audio collage that interweaves the voice of the late poet Amiri Baraka with music. Lee in Richmond, Virginia, which was removed from its pedestal earlier this month-and also honour like the queer theorist Jack Halberstam. A series of videos projected onto a colossal screen amalgamate some of the polarising and triumphant moments of the past year-including images of the last-standing statue of the Confederate general Robert E. The artist has engulfed MoMA’s atrium with an installation comprising three towering scaffold sculptures that are affixed at various levels with canvases showing scrambled and repeated text, evoking the graffiti that covered racist monuments and memorials nationwide during the Black Lives Matter protests. The American artist Adam Pendleton, who creates referential mixed-media installations that explore themes around Black activism and the avant-garde, describes his works as “Black Dada”. Until 30 January 2022 at the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53rd Street, Manhattan
