Sunday, January 18, 2004 went to the museum of modern art today. they had an exhibition on art film of the 60's and 70's.. moderately interesting - my favourite piece was from Mark Snow, 2 films projected onto either side of a screen, depicting the front and rear view of the same thing. interesting..... In the basement was a section called "Mothers of Invention" or something lame like that. I was really dissappointed that it had been shoved down in the basement, it had some really cool things from artists like Suzanne Lacy and Le Tigre, as well as some Austrian feminist artists. It was never clear if it was to be a feminist exhibition, nor was it really all that big. it basically seemed to cover the protest movement of second-wave feminism while throwing in random other things. by far the most interesting part of the museum (and I normally like modern art). also an interesting area on Wiener Actionismus (?? too lazy to search google) - try searching for artist Otto Muehl. anyhow, after that I went to the Leopold Museum, which I whipped through. I was too tired to bother myself with it for some reason. The Gustav Klimt stuff was interesting, although there wasn't much considering we are in Vienna.. I was quite impressed with Egon Schiele, though... go check him out if you don't know who he is.. posted by kim | 9:09 a.m.|
