Alfred Barr’s torpedo (illustration here) continues to make waves. El Pais asks Serge Guilbaut for thoughts on MoMA’s future, in the wake of William Rubin’s death. He calls for democracy, debate, and dialogue. Also in El Pais, Ángela Molina reviews “Doppler Effect,” the 48-room permanent installation at the Tate Modern directed by Vicente Todolí, within the Barr-Rubin frame of reference. Todoli’s new image is that of a highway with cars that run on sugar, and Roy Lichtenstein’s “Whaam!” is one of the first works one encounters.
