Malcolm Peacock on Pope.L’s The Great White Way
An artist finds inspiration through Pope.L’s engagement with the absurd.
Feb 29, 2024
In the online edition of MoMA’s ArtSpeaks program, we invite staff members, artists, and special guests to share personal impressions of an artwork in the galleries. Here, interdisciplinary artist Malcolm Peacock explores Pope.L’s provocative The Great White Way: 22 miles, 9 years, 1 street, and how Pope.L’s “diligence around the unknown” seeks to create a dialogue with those who encounter the work.
Explore our collection work by work as we release a new video each month. Watch the videos and then come visit the works in person at MoMA!
