Event #3
For Event #3, my friend Zach Sweeney and I went to the MFA Thesis Exhibition at the UCLA Broad Art Center. I have to say seeing these pieces of art was very strange for me. It was almost like there was no explanation as to what any of the pieces meant. I soon learned that these works of art are for you to figure out the meaning.
This next work of art features technology. It is a coat that has a tablet and other electronics on it. Like I said before, I have no idea what the intended meaning of this piece is, so I left it up to my own interpretation. I imagined that the coat was a symbol for war and how it will always exist in our world. But the tablet and other electronics on the coat symbolize the advances that we are making towards more efficient and more powerful technology and weapons.
Another piece of art on display was a medical table and when I walked in and saw this I was really confused as to what art truly is. It is literally a seat that looks like it could be used for a dentists office or a hospital. At first I had no clue what to think about what I saw, but I decided that the piece meant, for me, that medicine is extremely important in our world. I think the lamp shining down on the table emphasizes the importance of the seat and how important the patient is to the medical company as a whole. I may be way off on my approaches to these works of art but I certainly gained a new appreciation for this kind of artwork.
