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.
