MET- Transitional Object(Psychobarn)

I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art this past week to see an exhibit that I was really looking forward too. I really do not enjoy going to museums because I feel that they are boring. I only went to see a special exhibit called the Psychobarn on the roof top garden. Cornelia Parker created it and she based it off the red barn in the 1960 film Psycho. After viewing the movie you might think it is the exact house but that is what she wants. She wants you to decide what it is so you can be the judge to what it is. It has a beautiful view of the city and going there with a significant other is a great thing to do. You will have a great time and it is a very cheap exhibit to pay for. The house itself is very creepy and old looking it really does remind you of a haunted house. The way the Manhattan skyline is in the back of the barn provides a contrast like some sort of illusion. I believe that is why the pieces name is called the Transitional Object. I recommend that people should go visit this exhibit because it was a great experience. I had a problem trying to relate this to a topic in class because it was literally just a house. Many people came out that day to see it and seems to be a popular spot for people in the city.Screen Shot 2016-05-11 at 6.42.25 PM Screen Shot 2016-05-11 at 6.42.13 PM
