Lee Ufan @ the Guggenheim Museum



Lee, Ufan exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum represents the true meaning of beauty and art at its best. As you can see Lee used a square paint brush which was dipped in pigment which than he started to apply dabs of paint on the canvas. Many of Lee Ufan paintings resemble a fading graph. This particular piece called "From point". Sticks out to me the most because it’s imperfect and in art imperfection is the true meaning of art and beauty. So man times in art wither its modeling or painting people look for perfection and the true beauty in art is imperfection which makes it unique which allows the painting or the person to stands out. What stood out to me most was; each and every dab of paint applied on the canvas weren't  identical or exact it was different in they're on way.

P.S. 1-James Turrell



The James Terell installation was very tranquilling and relaxing the beautifully painted all white room with brown bench.  As soon as you look up to the ceiling James Terell Frames the ceiling, which displays the beautiful sky. I stood gazing at the ceiling because I was so amazed how beautiful and simple it was.

9/11 Ten year Anniversary



The 10-year anniversary memorial in the E building truly touched me on how beautiful the paintings and sculptures are. While viewing the exhibit my attention was drawn to an exhibit, which was called "The Black plastic body bag". My eyes immediately filled up with tears before I could even read Cris Cristofaro silent calling synopsis about the piece which he explained carefully: that the empty body bag was for the victims who were never found on 9/11.Walking through the exhibition I seen photographs of missing people who bodies was never found due to the being swept away by the heavy debris. Families who never even have gotten the chance to say their final farewells to their love ones who was taken out of their lives on that horrific day.
