The Museum of Modern Art Presents Uniqlo NYC Nights and Plaster at The Museum of Modern Art

The Museum of Modern Art will be hosting its next Uniqlo NYC Night with the opening of the focused exhibition Plaster at The Museum of Modern Art on October 6th.

With a new gallery opening on the first Friday of every month—when the Museum stays open to all until 8:00 p.m. and offers free admission to New Yorkers for UNIQLO NYC Nights—these exhibitions will invite audiences to continue to explore MoMA’s dynamic collection and connect with art and ideas from more geographies and perspectives than ever before. Enjoy music by DJs from The Lot Radio, along with beer, cocktails, and more at our pop-up bar. Explore in the galleries, get creative with drop-in drawing sessions, and see a film in the theaters. Our stores and café will be open, too, so you can grab a bite in Cafe 2, get drinks at The Modern, or shop for unique design objects from MoMA Design Store.

Plaster, a hugely important material in the history of art, here becomes a lens through which to trace the unfolding of new sculptural forms across the first half of the 20th century. MoMA’s extensive collection of early modern sculpture will enable this focused exhibition in Gallery 516, featuring many rarely seen works, to highlight plaster’s versatility, from an exploratory medium that allows for quick iteration to its potential for supple, gently undulating surfaces well suited to the biomorphic forms of the 1930s and beyond.
