Mona Hatoum (Palestinian
and British, b. 1952) is the sixth artist to participate in the
Artist’s Choice series, for which contemporary artists are
invited to organize an exhibition drawn from works in MoMA’s
permanent collection. Hatoum is a conceptual artist whose own work
focuses on such issues as the instability of birthplace, shifts
in gender roles, and power dynamics. For this exhibition, she has
selected works by such artists as Cindy Sherman, Robert Gober, Felix
Gonzalez-Torres, and Francis Alÿs.
Organized by Mona Hatoum with Fereshteh
Daftari, Assistant Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture.
Artist’s Choice is made possible through The Agnes Gund
Artist’s Choice Fund endowed by Iara Lee and George Gund
III, Lulie and Gordon Gund, Ann and Graham Gund, and Sarah and
Geoffrey Gund.
