Art Visitation

A few weeks ago I visited the MOCA in LA. They have a few locations and I went to two of them near Little Tokyo. I had the opportunity to go visit the exhibitions in my previous art class last quarter but I unfortunately could not make it. After I heard my classmates talk about it though I knew that I wanted to visit. The first thing I saw when walking into the building was a huge light installation. I generally like anything haveing to do with light and neon colors so this fascinated me right away. 

I like this picture because the brightness of the work combined with the flash of the camera almost makes me look like a ghost. I feel like this pieces simplicity is contradicted by its abstract shape. It is hard to tell where it begins and ends. Standing beneath it as opposed to looking at it from far away also gave me multiple perceptions of it.

The next piece I walked in to was the white room with different colored lights in it.

This piece was also simple but using the various colored lights of red, green, and blue evoked a certain emotion within each room. It created separate spaces within one larger work which I found interesting.

My favorite art work that I saw consisted of long, blue, rubber strings hanging from the ceiling. This one was my favorite because it was the most interactive and fun to be in.

Again, this piece was very versatile in terms of sensation and perspective. Depending on how fast I walked through it, where I was standing, and what movements I made, I evoked a different feeling from the work each time. I like walking very fast through it because I found that if I stood on one end and quickly moved to the other, my conception of distance was completely skewed. I like works that are versatile such as these three that I have described. Experiencing this kind of art has made me think of ways I could improve my own works to mirror the versatility.
