Installation process of Ugo Rondinone's, HELL, YES!

i could spend days, nay, weeks in the digital archive the New Museum has built. it's stunning in it's simplicity, and surprisingly robust. it is easily searchable, as well as intuitive, with moments to stumble upon new artists/objects (hit random search for some fun!) it houses over 7,500 written and visual artworks, and it continues to grow.

as a former museum worker, i know how hard cultivating all of this must be - they must have a small army (or, let's be real, a scrappy team)to help file and catalogue all of this. it includes behind-the-scenes shots, an insider look at installations, and everything else you could possibly want (if you're a museum/art junkie.) it may not look like much, but suffice to say that for a non-profit to do this, especially one the size of the New Museum, it's incredibly impressive.

be warned. you're about to fall into the rabbit hole.
