On our second field trip we visited MoMA PS1. Here I saw different type of arts I’ve never quite seen before. There were arts different from each other on different floor levels. Some of the arts I seen at the museum didn’t catch my attention at all and some did. I’ll briefly describe the type of artworks that I liked, disliked, and quite didn’t understand.
The one piece I really liked was Janet Cardiff’s "The Forty Part Motet”. Once I walked into the room I felt like I was in heaven. It’s a stunning sound installation that features 40 different speakers with each speaker playing a single individual’s voice. I found it amusing when I got to the center of all speakers. This is the type of art I like that really caught my attention. Being in the room made me feel very calm and in peace. Such thing like that helps me release my stress. I don’t know but to me this is what I call a good art.
An art piece I didn’t quite understand was the room where there was an iguana and croissant. I had a puzzled face while I walked around the room. What does a croissant has to do with the iguana? In that room there was also an oven with a pizza pie. An addition to my confusion of the visual art I was looking at.
The art piece I disliked was Frances Stark “My Best Thing”. This artwork was extremely boring. All I saw where these two avatars having a conversation. I only stood there for 5 minutes and I had to leave. It just didn’t catch my attention at all. This is the type of art work I call bad. It didn’t have any meaning to me at all.
In conclusion, each one of us has our own thoughts of what is bad or good art. These were the piece I believe to be good or bad art. The artworks I chose made me questioned myself what was the artist thinking when they created the artwork? To them this art but to me it leave an undecided option.
