MoMA PopRally Presents: Decoding Alibis

An Interactive Event Exploring Alibis: Sigmar Polke 1963–2010
Wednesday, July 23, 2014, 7–10pm
MoMA, 11 W 53 Street, Midtown, Manhattan

The critically acclaimed Sigmar Polke retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) closes on August 3, but before it’s gone, we have the perfect event that will help you explore, discover, and learn about one of the most powerful exhibitions in New York.

Join PopRally for Decoding Alibis, an interactive evening exploring the retrospective Alibis: Sigmar Polke 1963–2010. Decoding Alibis invites visitors to wander the exhibition while five special guests — a cultural historian, a hallucinogen expert, a conservator, a magician, and a palm reader — are stationed throughout the galleries to illuminate aspects of Sigmar Polke’s complex body of work through the lens of their respective areas of expertise.

Guests can explore freely in the galleries and choose how they would like to experience the event. Polke’s multifaceted work often confronts issues of perception, chaos, and chance, and this special evening allows you to be immersed in the artist’s layered universe of imagery, symbolism, history, and myth.
