Enter Christian Marclay: Doors, the conceptual artist’s latest cinematic exploration of the meaning behind everyday objects. Three other exciting exhibitions also go on view in June: Melissa Joseph: Tender, transforming our outdoor plaza into a space for gathering and reflecting Red Grooms, Mimi Gross, and The Ruckus Construction Co.: Excerpts from “Ruckus Manhattan,” a fantastical and hilarious tribute to New York City Rubin Museum Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room, a lamplit sanctuary amid the bustle of Brooklyn In case traveling to Tibet, to 1970s NYC, and through decades of cinema aren’t enough, this fall you can visit Venice through Monet’s eyes.
