For W’s Art Issue, Goshka Macuga directs John Malkovich in a unique creative collaboration.
"The shoot pays homage to Macuga’s Exhibition M, a large-scale jacquard tapestry commissioned by MoMA, about the role of the museum as an institution. That tapestry, in turn, was inspired by a 1954 photo of André Malraux, which depicted the French novelist and art theorist leaning against a double grand piano, surrounded by images included in the second book of his trilogy, Le Musée Imaginaire de la Sculpture Mondiale.
In June of this year, Macuga expanded upon her MoMA commission at Art Basel Unlimited with Exhibition M: A Re-enactment, a mixed-media installation and performance featuring three actors masked with portraits of Malraux, Macuga, and former MoMA director Alfred H. Barr Jr." - Jen Wang, W Magazine
