For my third event I attended the Los Angeles County Museum of Art which is just down the road form UCLA on Wilshire. I had actually been there a few times before, but this is the first time I attended a scheduled art gallery, and I was glad that I did. I attended James Turrell's A Retrospective which provided a side of art that I had never experienced before.
In Turrell's show the light projections and different colorful shapes were very interesting, and it was one of the coolest art exhibits that I have ever been to. The way that Turrell manipulates beams of light allows for all of the audiences' senses to be overwhelmed with this astonishing art form. I liked that the show was timed as well and that I had my fair time experiencing this show. Another interesting aspect of this show is when he begins to mix colors of light throughout the show.
This display of art really allowed for me to see the true beauty that art creates, and that there may be more art in every day life than I had previously thought. This exhibit reminded me of a sun set, something that I have always enjoyed, but have never compared it to art. Now I see that this is a piece of art in the sky, and along with other natural occurrences such as water falls, I may need to step back and enjoy them a little bit more than I do now. The realization that this exhibit has provided for me is really amazing that I can connect it to previous art experiences that I have never thought of before. I would definitely recommend this show to everyone, not just my classmates as it may cause you to see the world in a different manner.
