The Marking Infinity Exhibition by Lee Ufan at the Guggenheim Museum was amazing. I wasn't able to take many photographs because they were only allowed on the first floor, but I will try with much effort to describe what I saw and impacted me the most. The first piece of art I saw Created my Lee Ufan was named Marking Infinity, which I really liked. It was a simple natural stone in front of a large plain brown covered painting. Although it doesn't seem like the much, what really called my attention was the way Lee Ufan interpreted it, and put much meaning into to. He described it as a mark ( the stone) in space (the painting). Most of Lee Ufan's paintings were named relatum, which according to dictionary.com it states it is " one of the objects between which a relation is said to be hold" Lee Ufan is very much into Philosophy, and he believed that nature had the potential to interpret different moral and relationship views, a technique which he used very much in his art. They're were also a painting in which Lee Ufan would grab a brush, dip it in paint, and made marks on the paper horizontally untill all the paint was gone, and he did this over and over until the paper was covered. This he identifed as time. Extremely Creative. They're was another which really grabbed my attention, it was a rock between stone and steel. I believed this was one of them he named Relatum, and he described how the rock separted them and gave way to respect. Genuis. I really liked this Exhibition and enjoyed it very much, it really makes you think and opens you up to new ideas, and gives you a new vision in art. Thursday, September 29, 2011

MoMA PS1 - 911 Exibition
This piece of art (left) was created by Barbara Kruger. It is untiled (questions). I found this piece interesting when I visited MoMa PS1, (september 11 exhibition) becasue it's the american flag, covered in questions, without answers. But before all of these questions of who this or who that, was what actually took my attention the most. The piece of writing on the top left corner where the fifty stars should be and it says " Look for the moment when pride becomes contempt." After seeing this, it all made sense. Too much of anything is bad.
This piece I also found interesting at MoMA PS1, (September 11 Exhibition). It's creator is Cady Noland who titles his piece, The American Trip. It's description said it was made out of " wire pipes, steel pipes, chrome cuffs, The American flag, pirate flag leather, straps blin, mans cane, and metal parts." At first I thought of death and War because of the two flags but I couldn't make much more of it. When I read the description it said how " violence used to be part of life in America." Although when I read that i thought to myself used to be? I believe there still is. I also thought of all the deaths caused on September 11, and what a tragedy it was for the United States. But overall the piece was very creative and deffinietly caught my attention.

In LaGuardia's art Gallery this weekend in tribute to remembering September 11's tragedy. This is the piece that called my attention the most. A piece of art created by Cris Cristafaro. He described it as two body bags put together, vertically, imaging the towers. The open flaps representing the vacant space it fills for the bodies that were never found. This piece is so real and very touching. I like it because he used something so simple and put so much meaning into it. I really like the creativity and the art put into something so sensitive and memorable.
