I took an hour or so to walk around Contemporary Arts Center in downtown this weekend. I was a little disappointed because over half of the space was closed due to maintenance and installation change-overs. So I got Floor 2 and 6 - and the lobby.
The second floor was mostly graphic design/Op Art stuff that, honestly, looked a bit dated. The sixth floor - the UnMuseum - is dedicated to kids.
The Contemporary Arts Center's Sara M. & Patricia A. Vance Education Center: The UnMuseum® represents a groundbreaking new concept in museum education for children, schools and families. Occupying the entire sixth floor of the new Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center, the UnMuseum is a gallery of participatory art designed to offer children and parents an enjoyable experience with the most innovative art of our time.
And it was here that I saw a couple pieces of work that actually resonated with me. Click on the two images in this post and chew on them for a bit.
