Martha Rosler’s ‘Meta-Monumental Garage Sale’ officially opens tomorrow at MoMA, allowing visitors to browse and buy second-hand clothes, furniture, home décor and more collected by the artist.  Though MoMA’s major art acquisitions make headlines, buying and selling is strictly behind the scenes;  here, Rosler puts consumption – the kind involving money AND aesthetics – center stage.  (Though Nov 30th, opens at 12pm).
