MoMi Visit

My momi trip: I went to the MoMi on Saturday April 23rd with some friends. We had been talking about how we feel like we’re in a routine, and wanted to explore more of what New York’s art scene can offer. And boy, were we offered a lot at MoMi. I really enjoyed the exhibit about Anomalisa, seeing as though I loved the movie. The remarkable movie Anomalisa, written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Kaufman and Duke Johnson, is a modern-day story about love and alienation that was meticulously crafted using stop-motion animation. This special installation in the core exhibition Behind the Screen includes two sets, depicting a hotel room and a Cleveland city street, and puppets of the two main characters, Michael and Lisa. The exhibit was a really cool look into the making and cinematic art behind the movie. My friends and I also enjoyed strolling around the museum, taking in all the different visual aspects of the space. I really enjoyed the "behind the screen" portion of the museum which had tons of artifacts. They looped famous clips like the train scene from "The Great Train Robbery."
