sunday at moma...2
2/5
so today i met a friend of mine and his son at MOMA for the pixar show. now this is something that initially rubbed me the wrong way, i mean it's applied art not fine art and we are talking about the museum of modern art, the house that barr built, this seemed so much more guggenheim to me.
but i had to get out (read open house) so i offered up my membership privileges to extend to michael a little kulture (that's him on the left)
well i was really pleasantly surprised, first of all there are 100s of kids running all over the exhibit, happy as can be in a museum, brandishing their acoustaguides like the remote controls they are so at home with, i mean when was the last time you saw that?
and some of the drawings (the models are whatever, i think the vynal coming out of japan is every bit as creative and interesting if not more so), the renderings of characters and sets were simply superb.
collage, paint, pastel, they were all so individual and each driven by a vision that needed to be communicated in a "felt" way before it could become modeled and made into a reality for millions. some of them (yes, only a small %) were brilliant and certainly moma worthy.
given my brother's involvement in this area, i can't believe i have actually missed understanding this part of the process, so i guess the exhibit is a success.
