Putting the Om in MoMA

I find this hugely appealing because it opens up all sorts of lovely possibilities. MoMA hosted 150 yoga enthusiasts, pictured above surrounded by a video installation by the Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist.

As reported in the New York Times museums have been hit hart by the downturn. 

“In these difficult times we want to hit as many buttons as we can,” said Glenn D. Lowry, director of MoMA. “We’re doing everything possible to connect with people.”

So is the Hammer Museum, part of the University of California, Los Angeles. The artist Lisa Anne Auerbach has organized a bike night at the museum for April 16, during which bicyclists can ride into its courtyard.
