Random blogging about MOMA--the Modern Museum of Art

I was going through pictures today to prove to Christa that we did stand on the spot of the Boston Massacre. She had to write an essay on it and said she didn't know anything about so I told her we were THERE this past summer and she argued with me so I had to show her. Anyway.... the point is as I was going through photos and I found some interesting photos from our trip to MOMA this past summer that Christa took. Ryan was trying as hard as he could to find the EXIT especially once we went to the 6th floor (we were not allowed to take photos up there).

So here is our photo blog on our trip to MOMA.

 

Would love to get some interpretation on this one? I sent the photo of it to Tyler since he wasn't with us. He loves Salvador Dali so I figured he might like this too. Reminds me of Dali.

 

 

 

This is the view from inside the museum. Ryan was reading a Star Wars book he got on a recommendation from this guy we met one day when Christa was working. Not only was he seriously into the book but he was trying hard to avoid the museum.

He is a not a big fan of modern art.

This egg had all sorts of cool stuff inside it like human hair, watches, papers and other assorted things from normal life. Maybe the artist was commenting of the ordinary aspects of creation or maybe he just wanted to put some stuff he found in his basement in an egg and call it art. 

This is a statue of LBJ holding Lady Bird and his two daughters in his hands. Read more about the artist and her inspiration. I don't think she was a big fan of LBJ.

Ryan was super embarrassed by this one and thought it was so awkward especially since his sister was taking a photo of it. Of course everything is akward and embarassing to him.

 

Hmm.......??? OOF!!!!!

 Art replicating real life here--a bus driver made out of paper mache sitting in the remnants of a real bus. 

Looks quite different from different perspectives.

 

Light installations

 

 

Art using all sorts of mediums including glass stacking

There were lots of people there finding inspiration at MOMA and it is free on Friday nights (thanks to Target) so the price is certainly right.

 

 

A frying pan with a lion in it. Maybe this is a commentary on the current woes of so many creatures on this planet as climate change, habitat destruction, and poaching put them right into the frying pan.

  

 

I love that so many people come to MOMA to check out the art and discuss it even if it is really weird and sometimes doesn't seem like art at all AND even if the only reason they came is because their mom made them.
