This is the Way Your Leverage Lies

A Mock-up draft of title page for Xerox Book.

Like Conceptual artists, Siegelaub explored subversive communication methods and mediums in his work and raised important questions about the making, display, ownership, distribution, and sale of art. This exhibition highlights items in The Seth Siegelaub Papers, now in The Museum of Modern Art Archives, that illustrate Siegelaub’s role in empowering artists within the hierarchy of the art world.

“This is the way your leverage lies”: The Seth Siegelaub Papers as Institutional Critique opens today at MOMA.
