Four members of Art Corporation planned a trip to Seattle Art Museum. We had a great time!
What we saw inspired us, challenged us, and gave us new ideas for techniques and forms.
This ancient Kwan Yin is in an art museum, rather than the sacred space for which she was sculpted. Discuss.
Simplicity. Form.
Viewing a video of a performance piece in which a car is destroyed in a ritual manner. Or…?
We spent a while at this one. ”It’s about weight. And balance.” ”Or…education?” (Later, I read a bit about it. The artist, Heide Hinrichs, says ”It is much more a pedestal disguised as an idea of a shelf.”)
On the train home, I noticed myself seeing things with new eyes, with art eyes.
Pattern, form, and color are everywhere, food for the part of us that yearns to express what we see/feel/know in visual terms. Thank you art, for being a place for ideas of ideas, for inviting our stories to interact with your objects, and for helping us see through and into ordinary life in a whole new way.
