Take Your Time.

One of my summer goals was to visit the Olafur Eliasson exhibition, "Take Your Time," at the Museum of Contemporary Art, and despite living only 2 blocks from the museum, I just got there this afternoon. The exhibition was gorgeous, and I would recommend taking advantage of the MCA's free Tuesdays to go see it.

The exhibition was truly a sensory experience; my photos do not do it justice. The essence of the exhibit, in my words, is objects creating their own beauty and the individual creating his or her own sensation. In the slightly more poetic terms of the artist and museum, the works are "devices for the experience of reality...light, air, water, moss are put to the service of artworks that are less objects than experiences." Every room engaged multiple senses, not only sight, but the smell of moss or rubber, the feel of a light mist, the sense of humidity, and more...

Since I started law school, sadly, art has really fallen out of my life. In college I was surrounded by it- I was a studio art minor and my college boyfriend was an art major, so I was either working on a project, modeling for a project, or critiquing a project. One of my new life goals is to make more time art, and I'm hoping to start doing that with the new camera on my birthday wish list!
