SF MOMA Trip

A long time ago in a gallery far far away...

https://youtu.be/wr7NNo9LFDY

Boom!!!
Members of the Sculpture Club, The Art History Club, The Ceramics Club and the Form Club embarked upon an Epic and unprecedented Journey to the SF MOMA, or what is more commonly reffed to as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

In the beginning
of the day, I was planning to where this painting I bout from Alissa... from her student show on campus... but after careful consideration I decided against it. 
Why do you ask? Well, I guess I don't always want to stick out like a sore thumb, therefore, sometimes, I assume the disguise of that of a normal earthling.
Muhahahahaaaa!!!!

After a few stops we had finally made it.

 



San Francisco!!! Wow!!! What a town!!!
Honestly it was really hard to keep everyone in the club focused. Before I knew it they had run off in all different directions with absolutely no regard for schedule or policy. "Lets look at this building... Lets look at that sculpture..."
Truly, it was very sad.

 (Contemporary Jewish Museum)

Honestly, I didn't really even take that many pictures on our drive and walk up, but there is Sculpture Everywhere in SF. Not even funny, that morning I truly realized. If you want to make it big in the art world in this side of the world. SF is the place to be.
So...
I am dropping out of school and moving there.

Good bye.

Haha!!!
Just kidding!!!
I Ruv Rall!!!

Boom!!!!
THE SF MOMA!!!

 Gerhard Richter, Janus, Oil in Linen 1983

 Sigmar Polke, Untitled, 2003, Oil and resin on fabric

George Baselitz, Ein Gruner kaputt'67 (Remix), 2007, Oil on linen

Honestly what struck me most at first was the sheer scale of basically everything in this museum. Honestly I have a 6x8 foot painting right now that I am showing in woodland and it kind of Sucks to transport. I guess that's why these artists have to charge so much for there work, because they need a crane or a jumbo jet to move there work.

Boom.
 Anselm Kiefer, Die Meistersinger, 1982, Oil, Acrylic paint, resin, straw, and paper on linen




First of all these pieces are massive, everything in the museum is like 12x15 ft or more. The surface of this piece was for me Exquisite. The influence of nature and its Wonderfull talents and abilities has no doubt been studied deeply by many of the artist here in the SF MOMA.





Honestly there were so many awesome pieces that day I'm just going to do some shots for a while.
 Magdalena Abakanowicz, Four on a Bench 1, 1990, Burlap, resin, wood and steal
Tony Crag, Forminifera, 1989, plaster


 I messed with these while I photographed them. A secret Panorama technology.



 Ron Mueck, Mask 2, 2001, Mixed Media

I love this piece because I basically and am in Awe of it. The detail is Exquisite!!! Honestly Looking at the picture it really does look like a real human head. I my self do not really make this kind of art, that being said I am still extremely impressed by it and I love it.
After I had this picture taken a police officer in the MOMA told me I was too close to the work.
 then I bumper into this painter who was working in the museum
All in all it was a Great trip the last part I will include is the improv acting troop that I met who asked me to share a memory that they could act out. I told them basically the story of the day where me and a group of my fellow students and friends went on a trip to a Wonderfull museum, had our minds blown, got lost in a world of art and then got together again with our lives much fuller than they had been before. Thank you Universe for this day, Art and the SF MOMA.

Tam Helenski I have known Tam for a little while now and one thing I can absolutely say is that she has some seriously deep understanding of not only her work but also the way of many artist, I think even more than many artist may know. Like Rubi Chishti she has investigated deeply into a world that can only be understood from within.  Its hard for me to quote Tam because the stuff is usually so deep. Most times I will record conversations or lectures like this. Unfortunately I left my recorder on and out side after our classes talk with visiting artist Eric Anang which was right before. What really stood out to me in this talk with Tam was her own struggle to explain her realizations in or with words. Very similar to Chishti there was a sort of disassociation or reassociation with the beyond. Her work is the offering. What is this life what is its significance, its loss its gain.  Tam's work that we viewed was layers upon layers of film, sound, wate...

Eric Adjetey Anang One of my favorite parts about being an Art Student at Sacramento State is the opportunities I have had to work with and get to know visiting artist. Last year it was Shay Church this year it was Eric Adjetey Anang. (Artist Eric Adjetey Anang with student assistants Kojo Gaisie and Chris Duffy) Now this year I didn't get to work as closely on the project with Eric as I did with Shay but I will say this, I have never met a guy who smiles as much and seams as Jolly as Eric! Well Maby I have but even still, the dude is content, or somethin... just a really fun guy to be around and work with!  (Eric whering my dinosaur mask which is always a big hit with the next generation of Sculpture Students Chris's daughter Ameina Duffy)  (Jasmine with coffin) (Strange Dude (STRANGE ONE!!!))

The Crocker (Rick Siggins, JuJuiygi 2007, Acrylic on Canvas) I Love The Crocker. (Homeboys, Brian D Tripp 1997 Mixed media) I always like to see there contemporary permanent collection, Its interesting especially after seeing the SF MOMA. Our Museum is good!                     (Charlie Brown Untitled, Bearing the weight#1 Oil on Pasted Canvas) I Feel Like the Crocker is a little more humbler, a little more down to earth. and still basically jam packed with Exceptional works and sweet shows.  I should probably become a member. (Gustavo Ramos Rivera, Bulerias 2009 Oil on Canvas) (Kojo with Ceramic piece) Thank You Crocker.
