The part i enjoyed most about the new museum was the 7th floor where you could walk out and see the city. The building was very interesting and I liked how you could start at the top and work down. The cape town photographs were interesting and gave a first hand look of how people live. I especially remember the one of a shanty town situation with a busy roadway right up the hill. I did not like the first floor with the very sexual paintings. I feel art can be achieved without being that out there and that in your face. It was awkward to walk around with my mom thru it. She is a graphic designer and did not seem to like it either.
ReplyDeletei loved the photographs, very beautiful. and i liked how he formed a pattern with the photos big/small, color/black and white, not framed/framed. however i feel the message he was sending about the terror in south Africa could have been made a little more clearer, or more intence. perhaps one picture that was blown up to a much larger size?
