This exhibit is found in the MOMA and offers a vast amount of contemporary pieces from the past 30 years. Featured artists include Ashley Bickerton, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Keith Haring, Martin Kippenberger, Steve McQueen, Senga Nengudi, Doris Salcedo, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Rosemarie Trockel.
The picture above is Ralph Borland's, "Suit for Supervision." The materials he used were Nylon-reinforced PVC, padding, speaker and a pulse reader. This suit was meant to protect the wearer at large-scale street protests. The suit also monitors the wearer's pulse and projects an amplified heartbeat out of a speaker in the chest of the suit. For more background on his design visit the artist's website here.
