4/11/2018 0 Comments Experience: New York TripOver spring break, I went with my art class and other art students to New York to visit the MoMa, the Guggenheim, the Met and other small galleries around the city as well as non-art-related spots. The three days spent walking around and appreciating art were some of the most fun I'd had in a while, and I was exposed to a lot of different artists and movements within a short period of time. In the future, I will definitely go back, and end up spending hours more in the museums; more than I was able to on this trip. The Guggenheim reminded me a lot of the Hirschhorn, and I feel like my group saw most everything in the current exhibit, but once a new one rotates in, I could see myself spending some more time there. Dahn Vo's exhibit was a little too historical for my taste, especially since I had no idea what the major event that everything was circled around was. I am certain that after I have some historical context, then I will be able to appreciate his work some more. Although, there were some pieces, such as "die Beste oder Nichts" and the calligraphy throughout the museum that I was able to connect with, which was fine. However, something I hadn't realized was that Vo's father was the one doing the calligraphy and I wonder why it is him that does it? I could probably find the answers on the Guggenheim's website but that's a question I can save for the future, if I become more interested in Vo's work. In my sketchbook, I practice a lot of typography, so I can see my sculpture and future work also being influenced by calligraphy, but I would incorporate it in a three dimensional sense. The Met and the MoMa have so much art, and especially a large permanent collection, and we went so fast through both, I was unable to see most of the exhibits. At the MoMa, I liked the temporary exhibit on the 6th floor by Adrian Piper, simply because I like geometry and math (which I can also incorporate into my work in the future) and also because of the piece at the end which allowed you to sign one of three contracts with yourself. The exhibit also had a lot of audio aspects which I enjoyed, specifically the whistling in the beginning which I naturally joined into. My group spent most of our free time on this floor, and had a quick glimpse of the 5th and 4th floor, where we returned later for our illegal "tour/lecture." On the 4th floor there was one room I enjoyed the most, of which I took pictures (included below). It was the room with the dove painting and the c o l o r s (One painting/sculpture used color and line to accentuate form in a graphic way.) Also, I saw a Bacon piece on the fourth floor, which I appreciated seeing again. Overall, the entire New York Trip was a lot of fun and I learned a lot, which I hope to expand on here as we continue to study art history. The following are all the pictures of art I took in New York, some of which have labels and others which are followed by a picture of their labels, or some which unfortunately do not have any labels but I really liked.
