More from the Contemporary side of things. The first piece came from origami, and I loved the colors. All of them were squares and played with ideas of folding without using any actual folding (Alyson Shotz).
Next were some African masks by Romuald Hazourme, made out of containers for liquid– gasoline, we would think of first, but I figured in Africa they would more likely be water containers. New and people using what’s around, right? And what do containers contain? Something about who you are, or who you are going to be?
The buckets somehow had screens inside them, with views looking up, so that you would be looking down but looking up. Clever and fun.
The last one in this entry is a branch rotating slowly, in front of a screen showing a similar branch. The branch behind has its needles and the one in front of you does not. Simple as this was, it was also a crowd-pleaser, showing how things are alive or not alive, or might be alive inside, a nice idea for the early March of a hard winter.
