The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum - 7/4/2010

This is a unique museum in that none of the exhibits are permanent. I was surprised that we were able to take pictures, the only stipulation was that someone had to be in the shot.


These are some of the exhibits that were going on at the time of our visit.




John Shearer: America (Continued)
June 27, 2010, to January 2, 2011.

This exhibit are pictures taken to tell a story about what is happening in that picture at that moment. most of the pictures are ink jet print on low-tack adhesive vinyl mounted on the wall.










KAWS
June 27, 2010, to January 2, 2011





Brooklyn-based artist and designer Brian Donnelly, a.k.a. KAWS. His artwork includes graffiti writings and street art; graphic, industrial and product design, including limited toy editions and street wear fashion, sketches, drawings, paintings, murals and sculptures.


This is a picture of Jeth next to one of KAWS' creations called the companion.







Rackstraw Downes: Under the Westside Highway
June 27, 2010 to January 2, 2011

I do not have a picture to show of Rackstraw's art works.

He does is paintings on sight as it is happening. He doesn't paint from a picture.
Rackstraw may sketch it first, but he paints oil on canvas while he is at the place that is in the picture.









Gina Ruggeri: Immaterial Landscape
June 27 to August 29, 2010







Gina has unique pictures that she has created. When you talk to different observers they all see the landscape in different ways.


When we visited this museum were not sure if we would like the art works. We did not think that we liked contemporary art, but we enjoyed. I am happy that we went and will most likely go back do to the fact that nothing is permanent in the museum.

This is where the museum used to be in that house which is up the hill from the current museum.



I hope that everyone had as much fun as we did, taking in all art in all the museums and finding that each one has something unique to share.
