Week 12 — Artist OTW

This otw is a little different. This is about the video that Prof. Zucman posted. This is the first time there is a otw on a video and it really is interesting. The way this art exhibit was held and the conditions that needed to be met to watch and walk around the gallery is very unique.

The exhibit was a depiction of an old small town home. On one section that was meant to be a kitchen, knives and kitchen ware were displayed as well as materials that were used for cooking and craft. The main art of the exhibit was definitely the culture being displayed in different ways.

I also believe the condition on not being able to wear shoes inside the exhibit is really interesting. In my opinion, I think that it really brings out the art in the exhibit. It’s a way for the viewers to experience how the culture that is being betrayed. Not wearing shoes brings the uncomfortable side out of people which was the point. This experience of not having shoes really puts people in the moment and allows them to be more observant. The art can be interpreted differently by each person.

I would enjoy going to an exhibit like this in order to open my own eyes. Hopefully at the end of this pandemic I am able to experience something like this.
