Modern art is like modern poetry; has no rhyme, no mastery and no passion.

fwiw, some of her work is really divisive. certain people would leave the gallery visibly pissed off and others would leave on the verge of tears. when i was younger i worked a little while at MoCA and saw the same crowd response to a Rothko exhibit, and on another occasion to a Matthew Barney screening.
We used to call these "installations" museum dioramas. I have seen some pretty cool ones but I have never been visibly shaken or brought to the verge of tears by one. Most were self explanatory: The reptiles of the Mississippi, the struggle for Little Round Top, Parrots of the Amazon. I confess I could stare at that rock glued to the pane of glass for a thousand years and never have it dawn on me that it was some kind of Spacerock/pyramid version of God reaching out to touch Adam on the ceiling of the sistine chapel.
Moredai, I like your selections. Never heard of Sandback but I love it. I'm a fan of most 60s/70s minimalism/conceptualism. Torres is one of my favorites, too. I like this. But, I also got a "those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks" vibe.
one of my favorites too. there are two of those pieces. during the show, they were leaning on each side of one of the gallery walls.
What do you guys find aesthetically pleasing about this, ****** question to ask, but I just don't find myself visually drawn to that. FWIW, I have enjoyed the limited exposure to modern art, so it isn't that whole thing.
i think it's a beautiful piece, but it can be hard to describe why. i find the forms, shapes, and textures appealing. aside from that, it looks like an asteroid in space and implies motion, but is set motionless inside of a fragile piece of glass. for me, there's something incredibly pleasing and whimsical about the unlikeliness of it all.
