MFAH WORK






1. Video still from John Wood and Paul Harrison. A bunch of white screens with black circles on each one.
2. Outdoor sculpture in Cullen Sculpture Garden. A giant black ball in the garden.
3. A frican Art. Moba, Ghana or Togo, Iron, Early 20th century. They both are small and dark brown. They have a rough texture and looks like it doesn't weight that much.
4. Ancient Roman Art. Greek, Cinerary, 5th century B.C., Green and light brown. It's big, looks rough and heavy, also very old.
5. Indian Sculpture. Anthropomorph, C. 1500 B.C., copper. It looks like it doesn't weigh that much. Its dark brown and the same size as a new born puppy.
6. Work by Carlos Cruz- Diez. Physichromic II3-B, 1963 (reconstructed 1976) Silk screened aluminum modules with stainless steel filters and aluminum stripe frame. It has 3 colors and it looks heavy. Looks like a box with HUGE sharp blades inside.

Q&A

a. The work by Carlos Cruz- Diez was most enjoyable. His whole design with the different colors and circles was well thought out.
b. Some of the roman statues were disturbing/funny to me. They would build this huge naked soldier and give him this tiny penis! Priceless.
c. I wouldn't mind making one of those 3D pictures that the artist did at the museum. It was very creative and everyone enjoyed it.
