This month, Lower Manhattan's New Museum, a soundproof structure, will premiere the "chants of an imagined ancient lament" on the various floors of the building. The production is supposed to transport modern-day New Yorkers back to ancient Assyria in the year 612 B.C. But it continues. On another floor, ten strumming guitar troubadours will sit (or stand) on furniture to emulate the famous sex scene from a 1977 Icelandic cult film.
