This young artist is considered cutting edge exploring ceramics and pouring urethane. He had a lot of minimalist structures combining graffiti and text. I won't pretend to know what he was expressing. I thought quite a few pieces were interesting and I really wanted to touch them. (That is a no-no in museum etiquette)
Ray put up with this part of our adventure day. He was not thrilled with the pieces and found quite a few rather silly. I agree on some of the fabric pieces and the mobile, but I liked the poured pieces - the colors and textures. One called the Time Machine amused me.
It's good to check out new stuff and then play judge and jury. There's something for everyone.
It's ART.
Happy Monday!
Hi Joanne - well that's good Ray put up with looking round. It's interesting to see art works and so often I haven't a clue ... and really need an education in art and its ways. I do find I need to wait a few decades and then start to appreciate things ... can't do that much longer!!
ReplyDeleteIt's good others appreciate these new works of art ... I'll stay with Ray next time! Cheers Hilary
Ray was rewarded with a visit to the food trucks at a nearby park. He was happy with lunch!
DeleteMost interesting Joanne, there are so many varieties of art nowadays.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
yep - creativity in all forms
DeleteGreat effects!
ReplyDeleteMy husband has become more accepting of my fabric trips.
we spent probably 45 minutes there and part of that was the sculpture garden, which Ray did enjoy. He just wasn't keen on this artist.
DeleteI respect your open-minded spirit. I'd have probably been gawking in the corner with Ray. But you're right, there's something for everyone. Plus it's fun to play judge and jury.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
A great week to ya.
oh, you and I could have come up with a whole bizarre narrative in regards to the works.
DeleteSure something for everyone, even though many would get an eyeroll here.
ReplyDeleteoh, but it's "ART".....yes, you may eye roll
DeleteArt is an expression of creativity. It will appeal to some, and to others, maybe not so much. Good of your husband to check out the exhibit with you.
ReplyDeleteRay's a good sport for going to this exhibit with you. Smarticus is pretty good about trudging around museums with me, too, but it usually doesn't take very long before his eyes start to glaze over.
ReplyDeleteLove of art is in the eye of the beholder. Even if I don't like everything by an artist, I am still interested in their process and wonder what their thoughts were as they created. Interesting exhibit.
