Not to be outdone by Zaha (our Zaha!) and her unprecedented one-diva mega-show at the Guggenheim, binary starchitects Herzog and de Meuron are rolling into town with a show at MoMA. Okay, to be totally outdone: they're rejiggering the works of others, from the collection, into as trippy a fun-chamber as one might expect from the Swiss.

“Our project is an attempt to offer a spatial alternative to the existing galleries for a limited period of time and in a limited space, a site of heightened concentration and density that functions like a kind of perception machine,” the architects state. “By obstructing and putting pressure on perception, the installation intensifies the viewing experience and makes it more enduring, more selective, and more individual.”

Okay. Not so trippy. Artist's Choice: Herzog & de Meuron, Perception Restrained opens June 21. Be there and be square.

In other MoMA news, the finalists for the P.S.1 Young Architects Program go on display tomorrow. What triple-hot, summertime wonders await?
