THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART PRESENTS Carte Blanche: Rosa Barba MAY 13 – MAY 18, 2025

The Museum of Modern Art announces the film series, Carte Blanche: Rosa Barba from May 13 – May 18, 2025.

In conjunction with the exhibition Rosa Barba: The Ocean of One’s Pause, Barba has curated a selection of films, including several drawn from MoMA’s collection. For Barba, cinema “allows time and space to vibrate, collapse, overlap, and extend,” and Carte Blanche: Rosa Barba features avant-garde and experimental film and video works that have influenced her career. In these works, landscapes marked by extraction and urban expansion teem with radical possibility, transformational journeys are charted through otherworldly realms, and language becomes a visual and physical material that can fragment, flicker, or be thrown into space. Spanning genres, formats, and nearly 70 years, this series maps the contours of Barba’s singular practice through the moving-image works that have inspired her conceptual approach to film.
