McColl Center March 17, 2008

The last exhibit we saw at the McColl center was interesting, but really didnt tickle my fantsy, if you know what I mean. This exhibit was REALLY amazing! I loved it! I was so cool that we could interact with a lot of the pieces, and the artists had somewhat of a goal to scare us as the viewer. My favorite piece was the one with plastic plates raised off the ground with water and an engraved mirror inside. The mirror created somewhat of a skull image on the wall and it was on a platform that we as the viewer were supposed to walk on. When you attempt to get closer to the skull image to investigate, it disappears. Just like when I was a child and I thought the boogie man was under my bed and I would create it all in my head, and when I would look he would be there. "He was uncatchable" if that's a word? I would the concept very intriguing. I had a nice time talking with an artist named Howard upstairs, and all in all this was a very enjoyable trip:)
