Nobody ever called Pablo Picasso an...
I have pictures of last weekend's "Hellraiser" (as Sean mentioned) trip to MASS MocA.
But before I go there, let me post an old picture, which I rather like, taken a few months ago at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, when Joe's friend, Steve, was visiting. This picture is of an exhibit that is part of Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead.
Now on to MASS MoCA.
A mirror picture in the bathroom, which is a strange bathroom.
And an odd picture which I really love. I don't remember the name of this exhibit...I should have written it down. It is, essentially, wall graffiti posters that take up an entire wall. This is just a bit of it.
And to see the Corpus pictures...keep going...
I really enjoyed this exhibit and I didn't have a sense of Hellraiser at all, but that could be because it's been AGES since I've seen those movies.
Ann Hamilton's Corpus takes up Building 5, which is about the size of a football field. Rather, I felt much like the artist intended, that I was in a cathedral of some ethereal sort. I loved the light, airy feeling, the sense of peace that I had while I was there. I especially loved the windows, which are covered in pink silk. The light was wonderful. From the ceiling bullhorns rise and fall, slowly, with numerous voices chanting and talking simultaneously. Pieces of paper randomly fall from the ceiling to cover the ground. When we realized that they must have just cleaned the floor, we were disappointed. I wish we could have seen it when it was completely layered in paper. Still, I really loved this exhibit.
And Joe, watching the falling paper.

Aww, no pictures of the black room? That was the room that made me think of Hellraiser the most. Now I'm just they freaky guy who thought the nice, open, rose-colored rom reminded him of a horror movie. ;)

Well, yeah, but I didn't need certifiable proof! :)

Happy belated birthday! Thanks for the pic's from MASS MoCA. That's my chicken! I'm so happy to see it since I'll never make it to the show.

Wow! That's YOUR chicken? It's a shame that you couldn't see the entire wall...it's massive...and for me to pick out that part of the wall and you found it on my site! It was my favorite bit of the exhibit. I just found so much levity and odd familiarity with it. Huxley and my grandma's kitchen towels mushed together, I suppose. :)
