Having just returned from New York, where I caught Color Chart at MOMA, I’ve got color on the brain. Aside from the few waves of Stendhal Syndrome set on by the museum’s stellar collection, I found the exhibition as thought provoking as it was easy on the eyes. “Color Chart: Reinventing Color 1950 to Today” looks at contemporary artists’ color decisions for chance, readymade source or arbitrary systems and the beauty that follows.

Particularly interesting was viewing Robert Rauschenberg’s 8-by-almost-11-foot mixed media collage Rebus (shown here). The artist, influenced by Marcel Duchamp’s Tu m’ (also part of the show), wanted to depict paint as a commercial product and, as our docent explained, he bought unlabeled quarts of surplus paint because they were cheap and made a rule for himself that he had to use each can at least once, no matter the color. Talk about a limited palette! Check the website to view the rest of the exhibition online.

Speaking of color, that’s how social networking site for selling music Guitarati is organizing its music. Click here for details from Wired.
