Reflected Forms: Story and Character in the Films of Todd Haynes

Recording the Ride: The Rise of Street-Style Skate Videos
This exhibition features videos and artifacts from skate culture’s formative years, with a focus on releases by H-Street, Plan B, World Industries, Girl, and others that defined the modern skate video genre.
Waxwing
Waxwing subverts the traditional light gun, a device that allows players to aim and shoot at targets on a video game screen, by reimagining it as a literal source of light, shifting the focus from violence to an exploration of aspirations and the human condition.
Community Curation
For MoMI’s Community Curation initiative, a committee of ten curators and collectors nominated a shortlist of boundary-pushing artists for display on the Museum’s Herbert S. Schlosser Media Wall. These artists’ works reflect how personal and cultural histories shape artistic practice.
