Guggenheim

LEE UFAN - (Marking Infinity)

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.
