stephanie's world & you just live in it: Chelsea Galleries Reaction field trip #5

Two weeks ago we went on a trip to the chealse galliers. We saw a mix of great items both good and not my taste. I’ve been the area before but I never really bothered to look into the stores. I didn’t think it was okay to just “Window shop” I saw manty different artist work and I fall in love with the Ernesto Nesto Exhibit I completely fell in love with his childish yet grown enough mindset.

The two artworks that I really enjoyed were actually in the Tania Bonakdar Gallery in the exhibition of Ernesto Neto: Slow is good. When I first saw his artwork, it reminds me of a playground. However, what I really like is that everything in the gallery can be placed in the home. I feel as I could put this in a child’s play room and they can just run around all day. Also, all the artwork that I got to see was a very good investment because almost everything in there has a double function. It can be use a decoration. And second, people can place it in the playground for their children like The Island Bird, which is a humongous artwork that is hanging from the roof. I would love these pieces in my home one day.

On the other hand, there was artwork that I disliked. They are located in two different galleries. The first one was in the Gagosian Gallery with the exhibitions of Richard Avedon: Murals & Portraits. When I saw his artwork I didn’t like it because it didn’t move me maybe because I don’t understand its concept. I personality would not invest my money in this type of art. On the contrary, the other artwork was in the Gladstone Gallery that was exhibiting Anisk Kapoor's work I didn’t like this art yet again because it doesn’t speak to me. I like art that moves me that tells me a story that has more than one function and this didn’t do anything for me. Also, this work looks like it was done at fast paste and I don’t like rushed art. It looks sloppy to me. Similarly to the portraits of Avedon, I wouldn't invest any money on this artwork simply because it doesn’t seem to tell me a story like the other two do.

In conclusion in a far future in my life I would more than likely love to invest in a piece like the “Ernesto Neto: slow iis good. “The island Bird” I completely love that artwork. Also with “sound Way” that would be a great add-in to a child room or at a front door as well. It’s a beautiful piece of art. As I said nothing that was in any of the other galleries really spoke to me, I truly wasn’t moved because I like art that is both playful and tells me story and these other two artworks didn’t do that for me.
