Recently I visited the Met Breuer's above-named exhibit. The purpose of my trip to NYC was primarily to visit the Met, but I decided to drop by the Breuer after a (ridiculously expensive) lunch at a nearby restaurant.
This exhibit was really quite interesting. Think artists' interpretations and renditions of the Kennedy assassination, US/CIA black sites, Iran/Contra, Vietnam War, Watergate, 911, and others. I think the show closes soon, but the catalogue is available. There is a mixture of fact-based findings and odd speculation (aliens from another planet killed JFK). Work by Sue Williams, Sarah Charlesworth, Mark Lombardi, Jenny Holzer, and others. Unfortunately, there was little there that surprised me as I was already aware of major conspiracy theories surrounding these events. Nevertheless, it was worth the visit.
