The first piece of artwork that grabbed my attention was The Cyclone Fence, made in 1968. It caught my eye because it was huge and put in the middle of a warehouse. The space was huge and you can fit almost anything in there. I think that having something so common in our daily lives be consider art through me completely off. The items I saw in this wear house it reminded me of construction work that is being done all over the place. It even reminds me of my back yard while we were remodeling the house.
The next things that I saw were two wheelbarrows filled with water place in front of the service door to bring in the deliveries of the new artworks. At first I asked my self how the hell can two wheelbarrows filled with water be art? Than again art isn’t one specific thing I’ve answered my own question. I have a wheelbarrow in my home but I use it to carry heavy stuff I never let if get filled with water because it will get rusty.
Another work of art that I found interesting is a barrel filled with water that over time looks dirty. It was placed on the lower level of the warehouse, which made it even creepier. It was located right under the stair case awkward place to put anything in my opinion. I really didn’t understand what the artist was trying to say with his art but I did enjoy seeing the different things you could do with every day items.
This trip was pretty and so close to campus as well I didn’t know their was galleries around us so I found something new that I can show other people.
