We are saddened to hear of the passing of Richard Serra.

Serra studied form, including its mass, weight, ability to delineate space, and the ways it behaves under the pressures of gravity. As a result, his sculptures produce in us a heightened awareness of our surroundings. They are spaces to contemplate—to experience our “total senses.” 

We are deeply grateful for his boundless creativity, his long friendship with us, and generosity to MoMA.

In honor of his life, we've compiled videos from our archive that feature the installation of his work and his discussion of it.

For  #wellnessmonth  we created a Guided Color Meditation. Join meditation artist Dora Kamau for an eight-minute guided audio meditation that explores the therapeutic power of color. We’ll delve into color theory and the psychological and emotional effects colors can have on us. Composer James Pratley Watson, who created the soundscape for this meditation, aligned each color with its respective sonic “healing frequency,” in an attempt to infuse it with a deeper vibrational resonance. As Kamau leads you through this immersive meditation, allow the interplay of sound and color to guide you through a calming exploration of your own consciousness. 

For parents, educators, and anyone interested in the topic, we just put out a video on how art can be a tool for Social Emotional Learning (SEL)  https://youtu.be/uzr9aPuFaaI  How can art allow us to express who we are? MoMA Educators are joined by a licensed social worker and therapist to discuss how SEL can help us develop healthy identities, manage emotions, and make good decisions. We'd love to hear how you use these skills with your kids, students, and in your own lives. 

IN THE STUDIO is back with new art technique tutorials! In this episode, Helina Metaferia demonstrates collage techniques she uses in her work and admires in the work of Romare Bearden, Hannah Höch, and other artists from MoMA's Collection.

We're currently filming more episodes, so let us know in the comments if there are any particular techniques or mediums you'd like us to cover in the future. 

Lately there have been a litany of alarming headlines declaiming the new ways AI is expediting, unnerving, or sometimes comically­ failing our near-future world. At the heart of these are debates about ownership and privacy, labor and exploitation, reality and fakery. And with the recent breakthroughs of AI image and text generators, the public discussion has entered the art world.

For the latest episode of our How to See series, we spoke with artists and curators about how recent breakthroughs in AI and machine learning are putting new demands on artists to use, confront, and investigate the technology.

"The Red Studio" wasn’t always red. That was the hypothesis that kicked off a two-year analysis of one of Henri Matisse’s most radical paintings. Learn more in our latest video! 

“I don’t know why I precisely painted it this way,” Henri Matisse once said of "The Red Studio." Now seen as a groundbreaking work that introduced monochrome to the vocabulary of modern art, this 1911 painting initially baffled even the artist himself. In this video, curator Ann Temkin traces "The Red Studio’s" history—from its rejection by Matisse’s patron and the public, to its time in a London nightclub, to its eventual acquisition by MoMA—and considers the painting’s influence on subsequent generations of artists.
