Untitled
2015
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 2015 by Kai Althoff, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This looks like a cracked vinyl record with its cover still on. The top half shows a giant, swirled white shape that looks like a snail shell or a spiral galaxy. The cover has a blurry photo of a person’s face on the left and a red-and-beige stripe in the middle, plus a tiny crowd scene at the bottom. The artist glued bits of old images onto the record’s surface, mixing them with bold colors and rough edges. It’s like a puzzle of forgotten moments stuck together.
