MOMA presents: The Man from London and Home Delivery
MOMA have put on an amazing array of exhibitions this month, and here's our pick of the cultural highlights…
One of the more intriguing exhibitions coming up is MoMA's resurrection of Bela Tarr's incredible "The Man from London".
The iconic twelve-minute panoramic shot that begins The Man from London encircles its hero, surveys a harbor and a train station, witnesses a shady transaction and murder—and bears the indelible mark of Béla Tarr, the Hungarian director known for his stylistically unique and adventurous films. As poised and delicately balanced as you would expect from Tarr, "time" is as much a character as any of the on-screen protagonists. Based upon a novel by popular crime author Georges Simenon, we follow a railway switchman, Maloin, who finds a suitcase full of money. Temptation and confusion clings from his haunted aspect in this notably under0discussed gem.

"Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling" is a remarkable surveying of the meaning – functional, emotional and industrial – of the home.
The museum has commissioned five homes for its west lot, all with the aim of demonstrating what's possible in prefab architecture. The exhibition includes buildings by Horden Cherry Lee of London and Haack with Hopfner Architects of Munich and inside the gallery, the show features 84 projects spanning 180 years.
