Marlene Dumas: Measuring Your Own Grave
I saw the Dumas show at MoMA today and really enjoyed it. Roberta Smith describes Dumas’ work as follows:

brianvan:
President Obama was re-administered the oath of office on Wednesday evening by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., one day after the two men stumbled over each other’s words during the inauguration… Robert Gibbs, a spokesman for the White House, said the oath was re-administered out of an “abundance of caution” because a couple of words were out of place on Tuesday....
