MoMA's permanent collection gobbles up so many artworks that many aren't ever seen again, which is why Multiplex: Directions in Art, 1970 to Now is such a welcome counterpoint to the museum's focus on its greatest hits. The exhibition's premise is the familiar (if specious) story of how modernism's one-track mind gave way to postmodernism's philandering and dabbling. The real treat, however, is seeing work from overlooked Canadian minimalist Jackie Winsor, whose Burnt Piece is a cube made from slats of burnt wood, and Charles Simonds' People Who Live in a Circle, a clay model of an ancient circular structure atop a hill. Together with Rodney Graham's Rheinmetall/Victoria 8, a cinematic homage to an old typewriter, Multiplex offers a genuinely fresh look at the last 30 years of art.
