Zero – @Guggenheim

It was my first time being at the Guggenheim and I really like how the interior is structured. There are six rotundas but they aren’t separated by stairs, but rather it’s all connected by a gradual spiral of walking area from the bottom to the top. As you’re walking around, gradually going up from rotunda to rotunda and observing the different types and forms of art displayed, once you reach the top, it’s almost surprising that you’ve already reached the top when you’re not keeping track of time.

The exhibition itself was for the most part, pretty interesting to see. They created art through methods of lights/shadows, colors, sculptures, vibrations, kinetic energy, slashing & burning, and several others. Some of the art seemed extremely simple to create, such as certain solid colors on a canvas. Although it was simple however, it stuck to their theme of redefining and rediscovering art post World War II which was definitely enjoyable to observe. Each floor had its own sort of theme for the art displayed as the artists progressed in redefining it in their own way. One of the best parts of the exhibitions was the way they used light to manipulate certain objects and create art with a balance of lights and shadows. Other pieces of art that stood out to me were the ones involving fire and vibrations despite how simple it seemed, because well, I never thought of doing something like that.
