...from July 19, "In & Out of Amsterdam: Travels in Conceptual Art, 1960-1976," an exhibition at New York City's Museum of Modern Art, gives visitors an opportunity to explore the movement's early days, when artists like Gilbert & George and Lawrence Weiner commuted back and forth across the Atlantic, overthrowing artistic norms. "The movement of the artists from one continent to another became a part of the process, and inspired the happenings and conceptual art they sought to build," says curator Christophe Cherix...

You could see it looked like the people were getting off and onto the boat...

It was almost as if the river was like the runway. It was approaching it like it was a runway until it hit the water, and then you didn't know what to expect. Thank God it stayed in one piece and just slid along its belly." At a press conference soon after the incident, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that the plane...
