I really enjoyed the exhibition in the Contemporary Art Museum. I liked the concept that make viewers to involve in each piece. Especially the piece called The story of This Place, which embodies some big rounded tubes with head phones on it, was very unusual. In this piece, I could just lay down on the fluffy tube and listen to the stories made by artist with background musics in it. When I first experienced it, I thought it’s very simple and meaningless. However, after I laid down on all the tubes in there and listened to the all stories, I found that each tube represent different location in the world, and the stories were also distinctive from one another. Lying on the cozy tube and listening to the stories with very moody background music gave me peaceful feelings that almost made me fell in a sleep. It soothe my mind very effectively(I was so eager to have that tube in my living room!). And there was a piece called “spa room“, which has five cushiony chairs in the small room. The whole mood of the room was very dreamy and calm because of the dark lightings, but the sounds heard in the room was quite disturbing. The sounds of crying woman, shouting man, and suspenseful music creates dramatic feelings inside the room. I was a little confused at first, but I started to assume that the artist put this dramatic sounds to make sort of ironic situation. Also, there was a video called “Brazilian” displayed in the small, dark room. Although it was hard to get the meaning, I really loved the peaceful and comfortable looks on people’s faces and their actions, and the whole tone of color in the video. The project that we had to walk around Baltimore city, and at the same time listening to the stories, confused me a lot because there was no detailed instructions for this project. I just did random walking in a very hot weather and got frustrated about it. I also didn’t think that the stories are interesting enough to attract my attention. Actually, I couldn’t focus on the stories that much due to street noises.
But I think that the overall exhibition was very eccentric and innovative, and I really enjoyed being involved in each piece!
