For my first enrichment activity I attended an exhibition at Baruch’s very own Sidney Mishkin Gallery. The exhibition was about science and medicine depicted by means of photographs, paintings and videos. What I took from the exhibition, in terms of academics, is that science and art do not mix…ever. The whole experience at the gallery was sincerely somewhat trippy. It was so abstract and surreal that I honestly couldn’t find the purpose behind the work the artist portrayed. I usually consider myself an appreciator of the fine arts like literature, music, and (by my standards) “normal” painting but I quickly learned that in this case an exception needed to be made. If it weren’t for the sympathetic lady working at the gallery (who I assume saw my weirded out and confounded look) explaining some of the work to me I would’ve never assumed the art work hanging in the gallery was primarily scientific with depictions of medicine in the olden days. As far as I know all I saw was paintings of colors and lines sprinkled here and there and some photographs of old skulls. Still having gone to the exhibition I realized that every person has their own unique depiction of the world whether you understand it or not it’s very much appreciated when you take the time to step into their perspective.
