Two exhibitions in this Museum were particularly unique and I hardly took my eyes off them on. The two depicted critical thinking, a quality that is often skipped by haphazard artists. The first exhibition was attributed to Cindy Sherman, an artist renowned for her provocative photographs. The second art, which was equally conspicuous, was attributed to Naoya Hatakeyama and titled natural stories. It portrayed the forces of nature describing themes that would have otherwise been lost by other forms of art.
The Combination of artistic tools, ranging from, color, wigs, makeup, costumes, prosthetics, and props in Cindy’s exhibition were transformational in nature. The tools revealed freedom, identity and beauty describing the character and nature of a modern lady. These themes would not have been communicated better in other forms of art be it in song or writing. The art goes further to reveal the unique background, driving force and motivation of the artist behind the exhibition. It revealed a woman with diverse roots, driven and inspired by movies. The art drew me aback giving me an opportunity to think about my own background and inspiration.
Turning to the art by Naoya, one would not stop thinking about the forces behind the physical structure of the earth’s surface. The exhibition presented a natural state of the earth’s surface probably after the Tohuko earthquake. The precision with which the art was constructed left me thinking about the impacts of natural forces on human activities. This art speaks louder than a story telling the tales of natural transformations on the earth’s surface to every eye that beholds it.
However, I had my reservations regarding the two arts. Cindy’s exhibition seems to have been too personal it was concentrated about a person rather than a subject. The second art sufficient diversity of artistic tools, one may not learn much without being particularly keen.
The visit was worth making. It was educative and explorative at the same time satisfying my desire for knowledge and a relaxation moment.
