For my first blog post, I went to the Museum of Modern Art, or MOMA, and went through some of the exhibits. The first exhibit I went through was based on Frank Lloyd Wright and it was titled, “Frank Lloyd Wright at 150: Unpacking the Archive.” This exhibit focused on many of his achievements as an architect and designer, with many pieces on his most famous works including the Guggenheim Museum and other works of his from across the country. Also, there where were pieces of his from the 1890’s to the 1950’s and they included drawings of his works as well as models of the buildings that were later made. Another exhibit I saw was “Robert Rauschenberg: Among Friends.” This exhibit focused on an open dialogue among people and on an openness of ideas. It also went into great detail with dance and many of the exhibits pieces were in the form of video and of dances made by groups. Both these exhibits relate to my time at Baruch College by relating the ideas of freedom of expression and an openness in sharing ideas and thoughts. Also, these exhibits have helped me at my first semester at Baruch by helping to reinforce ideas on society that I have learned in anthropology and also in English. These ideas are about how society works and runs as well as how interconnected the world is. Besides this, the museum also displayed some of the ideas I am learning about in my art class in a more realistic manner. Many of the ideas that my teacher has taught us including about lines and materials used for paintings and drawings were displayed there and it helped me visualize what she has been teaching us even more. Overall, the museum was great to go through and I am very happy I went there.
