*Five-year-old Spencer Silverman got a round of applause after MoMA security got him out of the chair at the request of his parents (who maybe should have gotten a few boos). After his sitting was asked: What were you thinking of while you were sitting? Answer: Godzilla pictures. Spencer later told his father that he could have sat for "25 more minutes."

Joanne and Trace, No Distractions
Lassry’s photographs play on such conventions as the still life, the family portrait and the headshot. When using images taken directly from other sources, appropriation is used as a means, rather than an end... Lassry co-opts Life Magazine’s "Amateur Faces" First Prize winning photo for 1970 — "When Kent Barton, a 28-year-old North Miami art director, couldn't get his 3-month-old son Trace to sit properly for a formal portrait, he asked his wife Joanne to help, and made this picture.”

La Familia Obrera
Luis Ricardo Rodríguez, a pattern cutter, and his wife and son were hired by Bony and paid twice the minimum wage to sit as an installation in La Familia Obrera. An audio recording of their everyday household life was playing in the background.
