The Director's Choice

The Way I See It

Art critic Alastair Sooke, in the company of some of the leading creatives of our age, continues his deep dive into the stunning works in the Museum of Modern Art's collection, whilst exploring what it really means “to see” art.

Glen explains why Dayanita Singh’s Museum of Chance speaks to him above all the others.
