These are the best
These are extremely interesting, thanks for the nice insight.

I love these. I never knew how they painted those names on the walls. Screen printing?
Why was that one guy not wearing gloves?
??They’ve got to make more.
MoMA please film my life in wide angle like this

Thanks for the show MOMA.
i love it
How, guys i could miss your brilliant channel before…. definitely going to spend this winter with your channel! Thx a lot for great content
super
My response to Adam and Eve Expelled from the Garden of Eden is that there aren't any people because you are seeing from their point of view…so, you're Adam or Eve, or I guess you could be both. You can look back and see the light, but you can't see that garden anymore because you're, you know, scum, or as Robert De Niro tells Sylvester Stallone in Copland: You had your chance, and you blew it!
Hah!! I've ALWAYS wondered how you get names on the wall so perfectly at exhibitions. It's a freakin silk screen print!!! Who knew?!
I love this series! I would love to work at the MoMA, it's becoming a dream of mine.
Amazing the efficiency and work going into a full gallery in so short a time! ?
Love it Regards J. J Pokrak compmaturism see instagram" pokrak.art
