Art event 1
The first art event I went to was the Escondido Center for the Arts Museum. This museum had several galleries including the “20th Century Photography: Selections from the Wacovia SecuritiesArtCollection.” I found this gallery to be very interesting, not only because I am a photography major, but because it had many different subjects and themes. Most of the photographs were black and white which made them very more interestingto view because it’s not such popular thing anymore. I also loved how they weren’t bigger then 16×20 photos. Along with the variety of content, it made the gallery feel very intimate and personal.
Another gallery that was at this museum was the “Divi/Nation” installations by Debby and Larry Kline. These installations were very fascinating to me. They took different child hood games, stories, actions and put them into situations that created tension. Most of there subjects had to do with the Iraq war that is still going on today and fight against global warming.
Overall, I enjoyed this museum and would return again if there was an exhibit that interested me such as the “20th Century Photography.”
