Carl Akeley, the father of modern taxidermy, examines his kill. A tranquil scene emerges on the island of Naoshima, Japan, where the Chichu Art Museum lies underground. MoMA PS1 presents Wendy, a massive water-spewing, pollution-fighting piece of eco-art, which the young boy in Rineke Dijkstra’s beach portrait would undoubtedly love. Finally, Michael Heizer’s 340-ton Levitated Mass, initially conceived over forty years ago, is finally complete.
