Art Exhibit (2/3)

On Friday, February 6th, I attended Launch: 2015 Annual Student Juried Exhibition in the Visual Arts Center.  While I was in the same vicinity I attended Project 35 Volume 2: An International Traveling Video Exhibition and Other People’s Feelings Are Also My Own in the Hemingway Building. In the visual arts center, there were quite a few pieces hanging up, as well as on pedestals. My favorite pieces viewed were among the following, a gun made of bibles, and a set of digital double exposures. I enjoyed this exhibit more than the Hemingway exhibit. When I entered the Hemingway exhibit, on the big screen an eighteen- minute video of an artist crawling through the streets of Korea. I watched all eighteen minutes and was honestly extremely confused the whole time. I tried to understand why she was doing this, what her motive was. What I got was that the whole time the artist went about the streets, she didn’t get looked at or even noticed. She went through this unnoticed and ignored. Overall, I liked the exhibits, a lot of people showed up and it ended up great.
