Today I went to the Hammer museum and searched for exhibits that were fascinating and incorporated our unit's such as MetTech and Art. The designs that surrounded me captured my eyes because the abstract paintings and sculptures encapsulated what art I think means. The beauty of the showcases that were put on display under glass cases still allowed you to get up close and see individual paint marks by the artist. If you want to see the whole piece there was plenty of room to step back and see the whole meaning of the painting or sculpture.
This is a art showcase of David Oppenheim eating a gingerbread cookie and showing how it is being digested. He was a pioneer of body art, and earthworks. The picture on the bottom right shows that the gingerbread cookie will digest to become waste. He states here that anything created or morphed by the body of the artist including byproducts, can be art.
This picture relates to technology and Art, creating an art form using a camera and the beauty of the other beauties if captures. This museum was very eye opening to me to show how art museums can change your perspective on how to look at someones else art form. One main factor I took away from the Hammer Museum was that you can create art with your own body no matter what form it may come in.
