For my academic blog post, I went to the Whitney Museum of American Art with my younger brother, Daniel. God bless the student policy. I was not willing to pay anything to get into a museum. What we saw in the museum were lots of different exhibits like “The Line” and “Hélio Oiticica: To Organize Delirium.” “The Line” was an exhibit that took the form of a video that showed a line of computer-generated people. Each person within the line either stands up or sits down. Each person is either stretching, typing into imaginary and invisible phones, or taking invisible objects out of pockets. And what this exhibit represents is or rather what the idea of a line represents is the difference between lining up for an item versus lining up for something important like a passport, citizenship status, or to get on a refugee boat. The line is represented as a political controlling force. The line is something that subdues people and makes them wait for something else to happen. The question that comes up when a line is involved is does the line ever end? And what happens if it does end? The second exhibit, the “Hélio Oiticica: To Organize Delirium,” is more about the experience rather than the sight itself. This exhibit requires the viewers to literally part of the artwork itself. Viewers are required to remove their shoes and physically walk around within the sculptures and architectures. People walk around in the sand and experience what the artist, Oiticica, had experienced in the 70s. The exhibit incorporates the viewers’ bodies, senses, perspectives, and feelings to fully get the experience. This experience was very eye-opening and interesting. This visit to the museum broadened my perspective of the world of modern art and I learned to respect artists a lot more.
