Weird Art, Part 5


What would be more audibly entertaining than being in the first row of a great concert? How about if you could get on the stage and walk around listening to each and every person singing? That's what this exhibit was all about at the PS 1 MoMA Museum in my neighborhood of Long Island City.

When I entered the room, I was a little annoyed that people at the other end were talking so much that I couldn't hear what was coming out of the speakers. Then I realized that the talking was coming from the speakers. All of a sudden, things got quiet. Then the most amazing acapella singing flowed from the speakers. You could walk around the room and hear each individual singer as if you standing next to him (it was a boys' choir). I loved this exhibit for its creativity and pure listening pleasure.
