Mint Museum of Craft and Design

This past thursday we went to the Mint Museum of Craft and Design. I must say that I found that museum a lot more interesting than the McColl Center. Thework was much more fascinating, caught my attention quicker and for longer spans of time. I found that the longer you stare at a piece of artwork, the more you notice, and the more it starts to make sense. At least that's what I found during this visit to the museum. I would like to go back to this exhibit because our tour guide only focused on certain pieces, and due to the time crunch, we were rushed. It was amazing some of the ways fabris was used and manipulated to make artwork.
hellz yeah.

once again, sheltered.

the art world is much more complex than I had initally, well, EVER thought.

I also noticed that pieces that looked simple initially, usually took hours and hours of work to accomplish the faux look of simplicity. One piece that sticks out was the wedding dress covered in negative quotes pertaining to weddings. The irony was genius and really told a lot about the artist. I thought it was neat. Once again the idea and practice of installation was drilled into my head about it's urgency, importance. I think it's begininning to sink in.
