Wynne. Also featured: new installments of two regular Esopus series—"Modern Artifacts," which reproduces in facsimile materials from the MoMA archives (in this case, documents related to the museum’s first Matisse exhibition), and "Guarded Opinions," featuring museum guards’ impressions of the art they oversee (for this issue, New Museum guard La’Quasia Risper’s take on an Urs Fischer sculpture). French cultural historian Stéphane Gerson closes the issue with a fascinating analysis of visual representations of Nostradamus over the past 500 years. For the issue’s themed CD, 11 musicians (including Laura Gibson, Frightened Rabbit, Julianna Barwick, and Natureboy) were asked to create a new song inspired by one of Nostradamus’s prophecies.
