Zero

When I first entered the Guggenheim and looked at the structure of the interior of the building I realized that the building itself was a work of art itself. The Zero exhibit itself was a very interesting array of pieces ranging from minimalistic paintings to complex, industrial, moving displays. There was a few common themes I noticed running through the various layers of the museum, including minimalism, bright colors, recycled materials, and clever use of light and motors. It all conveyed the ideals of the original members of Zero which was to begin anew and start from scratch so to speak in the aftermath of WWII. Though some the work may seem experimental (such as the pieces which incorporate burning) it all goes along with the effort to redefine art as it existed in that time period.
