Extra Credit- 4/13/15

 On Friday April, 10^th I attended the newest BFA Exhibition; Ball of Wax,. We first ventured into the Liberal Arts Building, where there were many interesting pieces on the walls. There was a set of very well done oil paintings on canvas. A very overwhelmingly huge portrait of a multi-colored and textured man was very interesting. However, my favorite piece was a piece called “self portrait” made of these gray glazed ceramic blobs with faux fur. In the other building however, I liked more of these, they were larger and a lot more visually fascinating. There was a bed made out of bricks that were soda fired, and a mirror that had a video installation of everyday activities cracked on it. One of the original pieces that I didn’t understand at first was another video installation. It had 4 cameras showing videos, and I figured they were somewhere in the building. It was later that my speculations were confirmed when my boyfriend was pulled aside by a man in a suit with a security badge and asked to step in a smaller room. I then knew that Devin was going to be on a live newsfeed, where he later told me they asked him questions like, How did you get here, who did you come with and why are you here? I thought that this project was quite interesting and came off kind of creepy but cool. Another project I was partial to was a set of silhouettes of people, made out of all different types of materials. A lot of people came out for this opening reception, and overall it was a great time.
