I See


Last week MOMA put up this short, that deals with how we relate to art, and how we view the world around us, in an artistic way. I love this concept, because it gives everyone a relationship with the art world, beyond just having a favorite song that comes on the radio. Art is an expression of what we see, hear, touch, and smell, in the everyday world, and it usually deals with subject maters that are close to us all.

I see art everywhere, from the beauty nature, to the way a folding chair is designed. This video calls us back to the places where art is in its natural state and then sends us out away from the museums with a new outlook on the way the world becomes art before our own eyes.

Take Your Time

On March 22 the Olafur Eliasson's exhibition "Take Your Time" closed at the Dallas Museum of Art. This exhibit was a fascinating collection of work by the artist. I personally had a chance to experience this exhibit a few months ago at the DMA. I felt as if I was in a giant science experiment. Each installation had something in it that engaged a different sense or feel. The brilliance in Eliasson's art is, that it is incomplete without the viewer.

This exhibit was truly a once in a lifetime experience for me. Hopefully you had a chance to see "Take Your Time" but if you did not I put some links below that will give you a good idea of what this exhibit was all about. Enjoy!
