Day Without Art
“On December 1, The New Museum joined over 3,500 galleries and museums throughout the world to mark Day Without Art, a national day of action and mourning organized by Visual AIDS in response to the AIDS crisis. This year the Museum installed Every Ten Minutes, by artist Robert Faber: a resonating bell in the Museum entryway rang in ten-minute intervals to represent on AIDS-related death in the United States every ten minutes. The New Museum continued its history of collaboration with Gran Fury by installing an L.E.D. sign in the Museum lobby which flashed statistics and called for an end to the AIDS crisis.”
