My trip to the MOMA.

Hi Everyone,

So, over the weekend I went to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. There's some really interesting exhibitions going on right now so you should all go if you get a chance. There are three specific exhibits going on that deserve special mention: Jeff Wall, Olafur Eliasson, and Joseph Cornell. Above are a few pictures, and I'll give you a brief description of what they're all about.

The first picture is a Jeff Wall photograph. He does this amazing thing where he puts a huge backlight behind each photo, and they're HUGE photographs. It's just breathtaking when you see them up close. It's almost like you're watching a movie, but it's a still image. I like how in this photo, there's so much movement (in the spilling milk), but it's perfectly still.

The next image is Olafur Eliasson's. He does some really cool installation pieces, but there was one that, literally, caught my eye. You walk into this room, and it has these bright bright yellow lights, and once you get in there, you really don't want to stay in there because it's really uncomfortable for your eyes. My eyes had a really hard time adjusting, and I almost left. But then I started looking at the people around me, and I almost thought I was fainting because everyone around me was black and white. Then I looked down, and I realized that I was black and white too! It was insane! So apparently, this light does weird things to your eyes, and they never properly adjust. Everyone appears to be in black and white. Insane. I loved it. Everyone should experience that.

And last but not least, Joseph Cornell. He's a wonderful artist who has been around for a very long time, and many of you probably recognize his name or his work. He became famous for his work with shadow boxes, and I think basically all of his boxes are there right now. But what I loved most about this exhibition was seeing all of the collaging that he did. His works on paper, without the boxes, were gorgeous. It's a huge exhibition, and if any of you are Joseph Cornell fans, you should check it out.

So there you go!
