“Family Portrait”
”Golden Ghost (The Future Belongs to Ghost)”
When I went to the MoMa PS1 museum with my professor and classmates, it was a nice experience. The museum itself is a very lively place and we can discover different and surprising artwork there.
The artwork that was, in my point of view, a good work of art was “Family Portrait” (2006), by Henry Taylor. He painted his large family in a portrait and that showed me a lot about himself, like his social and emotional beliefs. Family is a very important part of my life, when he choose to paint his own family I felt more of a connection with this artist. The child in the center of the painting showed me the importance of children in Henry's life, and at the same time this child could have been him.
The artwork that I thought was bad was “Xenosphere”, by Lourraine O’Grady. It is the type of art that depressed me. However, I believe that other people can appreciate this type of art work. The art work was displayed on the three TVs and the movements portrayed that the artist was having a sexual relation with a chicken(animal), one woman and with vegetables and fruits. When I saw that, I felt like the woman was an object in the man's hands. I did not like how this art work produced these feelings in myself.
The artwork I could not understand very well and why the artist put something there on the floor was ”Golden Ghost (The Future Belongs to Ghost)” by Surasi Kusolwong. The artwork from Kusolwong produced the feeling that she made a nice and comfortable place for the kids and adults to have fun. This work of art had a lot of puffy things with color on the floor and it was a little confusing to me what it meant, but it was fun to look at people enjoy walking on the top of it.
In conclusion, my visit to the museum helped me find three different types of artwork I liked, I did not like and the one I did not fully understand.The artwork that I considered to be good, was the artist that created an artwork to show the connection with his family which I can appreciate. The artwork I misunderstood, but it was still interesting to look at and enjoy was the one with people walking on the puffs of colored things. The artwork I did not like and really made me feel like women were objects and I couldn't understood the sexual relationships between him and animals and fruits.
