C&H went to LACMA this Saturday afternoon. After checking out an average American Art exhibit and an architecture themed collection, we were dazzled by 12 Contemporary Artists from Korea.
I half-expected to see super-duper, Asian-Asian work, but I was pleasantly surprised with the relatively race neutral art. It was visually stimulating and thought-provoking. The many young, hip Koreans viewing the show were probably swelling with pride. Rightfully so.
This Korean exhibit is only up until September 20, 2009. Go see it!
This is a close-up of one of the outdoor exhibits. The artist created a vine-like jungle made of colorful, cheap plastic cups, bowls, trays, lids, etc. The kids loved it (myself included).
In order to get to the exhibit, they made you go up, then go down. Kinda weird. But, I enjoyed the view of all the lines and color.
We couldn't take pictures inside, but the grounds of the museum are just as fascinating. I spotted this crazy looking flowery, palm-like plant. It felt over-sized and freakish. Cool.
This wasn't taken at the museum, but I saw it on Melrose. Seemed to capture the spirit of C&H today: two kids out exploring. Good day.
