The Modern Window: Julien Ceccaldi New York Performances

At MoMA Exhibitions, *The Modern Window: Julien Ceccaldi* presents the artist’s comic-informed practice in a gallery setting, treating drawing and narrative as tools for looking at the present. Ceccaldi’s figures move through desire, performance, and everyday intimacy, with a line that borrows from manga and European bandes dessinées while staying pointedly contemporary. In New York, where comics and contemporary art have long shared audiences but rarely equal institutional space, the show reads as a quiet marker of that crossover. One critical note: the work’s humor often carries the sharpest social observation.
