“MoMA PS1: The Good, the Bad, and the Misunderstood”

The MoMA PS1 is  and affiliated museum of MoMA. Unlike MoMa, MoMA PS1 only shows the artwork of young artist which creations one day will be displayed in the most famous museums. MoMA PS 1 surprised me because it was a small museum comparing with the others, and also I though that only artwork from famous artist could be displayed in museums, but in this place modern young artist have the opportunity to expose their creations. In the other hand, the purpose of this field trip was to expand our first blog post: "Goog Art vs. Bad Art."

During the visit to the museum I actually like couple of artworks, but what I truly liked was the creation Henry Taylor "It's Like a Jungle."  In this piece of art I appreciate that Taylor used his imagination to make a jungle out empty gallons, baseball balls, stones, and many others materials. I think it is amazing that people have the ability to create fabulous piece of art with material that at some point we found it useless or we just considered as trash. Also, this artwork reminds me when I and was camping in the mountains which looked like a jungle with my friends from the church.

Something that I did not like was the artwork of Lourraine O' Grady.  This young artist enjoys using different kinds of sex activities in his art.  What turns me off about it was that he was using fruits and vegetables to make sex movements which is okay because  we are living the 21th century, but I personally disagree with it because we eat those fruits and vegetables. Even though many people are using this techniques, everything he did was an exaggeration.

An artwork that I did not understand was the Iguana with the croissant. I know it says that people could adopt the iguana, but I think it should be in the Zoo or in a house for homeless animals not in a museum. Besides that, I did not understand  the relationship between the iguana and the croissant and i believe that iguanas do not eat bread. Also the iguana was in his cage while the croissant was thrown in the floor. So, this scene between those two elements were very confusing until the point that I did not understood.

In conclusion, this young artist have the potential to keep up with their artwork because there are many opportunities for them. All of them have the ability to create artworks that many people like, dislike or may find it confusing, but they have the enthusiasms to do it and that's what counts. To sum up, young lazy people should follow this  others young artists or at least find something profitable to do instead of being wasting their time in the streets.
