Postmodern Standpoint
I went to the Walker Art Center on Tuesday and chose a piece called Necklace CNN. It was done by Thomas Hirschhorn and I picked it because it almost made me laugh. For me I think it applies to postmodernism just about anyway I look at it. Its a giant chain necklace made of plastic and cardboard with the CNN logo hanging from it. It looked to be about fifteen or twenty feet high and is hanging about twenty feet off the ground. It was neatly wrapped in gold wrapping paper with tape to give it that "Bling bling." It definitely to me applies to this day in age with the media and the cross references it makes as to what is popular.

ReplyDeleteGlad you visited the exhibition Jesse, and good eyes, as this one could have escaped you...nice description.
ReplyDeleteSo what kind of 'cross references' are you referring to here? Could you be more specific?
Still think you might want to try and catch the 'Necklace' exhibition when it opens at the MIA...
