''Quiz Makeup''


I choose Pierre Huyghe. Pierre is a great artist his artwork are very different from others. His very talented and his artwork is very modern. His very creative when it comes with his pieces he make it work and he really make his pieces cough your eye.

My favorite was ‘‘this is not a time dreaming’’ this artwork is really modern and creative he put himself in this artwork and created something different.

The one I dislike was ‘’the poetics of space’’ this work confused me but at the same time I liked it. It was very different and creative. And in my conclusion I’m not going to struggle anymore trying to understand any artwork because I realize any good work requires of thinking. Thinking beyond everything to understand but when you don’t have a lot of knowledge about art this can be really hard.

This artist reminded me of Cindy Sherman because Cindy try to portray her artwork with herself I kind of thought this was the same thing Pierre tried to do. To personified all his artwork by including himself in his artworks.



''Movement of Bodies''


For our project 5 we had to choose which museum we want to go. We had to choose between MOMA and The MET. I choose The MET because we already went to the MOMA. I really liked The MET is everything I expect and more.  For this project the theme I choose was ‘’ Movement of bodies’’ I choose this theme because all the artwork I choose is about movement and bodies with different positioning.

What I expect my viewers to take from this exhibit is that no matter the place or the century all of us can relate with this artworks and no matter the culture in any type of way ‘’we’’ humans we all very alike and we can relate with each other even with bodies position.

I felt very attracted by all the sculptures in the museum and then when I  got to see the galleries of 19th- and early 20th – century European paintings and sculpture  and the European paintings there is when I realize what I wanted my topic to be about. Because all the sculptures where like bodies movement and the paintings they had all this people trying to portray something by their body position.

The three works that I feel that relate very well with my theme are; the Actor, The birth of Venus and the vine. These three artworks I feel they’re express and portray a lot by their position. For ex the painting of ‘’the actor’’ I found it very interesting it cough my sight right away. And the birth of Venus the position of her body she express pleasure and the way her body is flouting in the water it looks pleasant in contrary ‘’the vine’’ sculpture express pleasure but almost vending down her Spain .we can express the same feeling in different ways and positions.

Lastly I really liked the MET and enjoyed my experience at this museum I found it very interesting. Planning another trip soon in which I could spend more time and maybe go thru all the exhibitions.  As I curator I really enjoyed this experience it was really cool spending time choosing works of art that I liked and putting them all together and make them work and relate with each other

''Chelsea Gallery Reaction''


For this field trip we had to go to Chelsea which I really enjoyed because ive never been in a place like that and I was unaware that NYC had something like this. I feel like Chelsea is a great place to go to relax and at the same time learn.

We had to choose two choose two artist from two galleries. One that i would like to collect and one I wouldn’t like to collect.

I would consider collecting Anish Kapoor an exhibition presented in Goldstone Gallery. What I like about this artist is that for me it was something different. Different in a way that I’ve never seen before that type of art like concrete sculptures that look kind of sloppy and looks like falling to the side but at the same time well done. When I walk in that exhibition right away it caught my eye. Is very interesting and the way the sculptures where places. On the other hand I felt this exhibition is a good investment because if it caught my eye and I’m not quite into art and what is good or bad to me I feel it will caught the eye of anyone. Other than that art can be anything and this sculptures cannot be forgotten in years because these sculptures hover between contemporary objects and ancient entity.

The exhibition I wouldn’t consider to collect is from Gilbert & George presented in Lehmann Maupin Gallery. This exhibition I would be very honest at first it caught my eye but then I was very confused by all this headings in the pictures of words like; arrested, attacked, straight, bomb, lover, missing, suicide, etc. to me I felt that it kind of interest me like to know what it was about but my perspective is that art should be something you get right away and for me to collect this artwork I wouldn’t because I want something people will get right away and enjoy it because galleries get people from everywhere and not all of us have the same art perspective and not all assimilate these things.

In my conclusion this trip to Chelsea made me realize everyone has a different perspective of what is art even for the artist and that not all type of art will mean the same to all the visitors. I also notice that the best things in life are free. This trip to Chelsea  I felt in peace and gained a lot of knowledge as well.
