A Wonderful Start to Fall TRaC Team

Visual Arts Team Outing on Saturday 11, 2008 to the Museum of Modern Arts

An especially lovely evening was spent together with our wonderful supervisor, the one and only, Anna, in the Museum of Modern Arts. Starting off a bit late because of some delays (sorry Anna!!!), we made our way to the MOMA exhibitions. I could have sworn I felt the excited energy eminating from everyone in the group. There were MANY interesting artworks to see (including a body that was coming out of the wall...)

To those who are not familiar as to who I am, I am the new assigned blog captain, Shinthia (Cynthia :] ). As the "blog captain" I will keep everyone posted on all the juicy information and exciting things that the Visual Arts team does. For now, CHOW!!!

FIRST OUTING: MOMA!!!!

WHEN: Saturday, October 11th, 3-5pm.

WHERE: 4 West 54th Street (@ 5th Ave.). We’re meeting in the lobby. Remember that this is not the main Museum entrance!

First Outing to Sotheby's

Hey Everyone! This is your blog-captain updating. It was great meeting Joe and learning a lot about contemporary Asian art, especially how modern artists imitated Westernized works and made them "Asian" (refer to the image on the left of Michelangelo-style sculptures with Mao jackets).

If you want to see an album of photos that I took, click here!

I'm currently working on a collage to put all those pictures up together, so check for updates soon. Can't wait to see you all in our first meeting at the Guggenheim museum!

MoMA!

WHEN: Saturday, March 29th, 2-4pm.

WHERE: 4 West 54th Street. We’re meeting in the lobby, on the side where there is a bunch of benches (☺ fun alliteration). This is not the main entrance of the Museum. It is the Education and Research Building.

Directions: MoMA is next door to where we met for the Kick-Off. For detailed directions go to MoMA web site. Call me if you get lost.

WHY: Because we’re going to look at tons of great artworks! We will walk through the astonishing permanent collection galleries of the best modern art museum in the world and also visit a fun temporary exhibition dedicated to color, Color Chart.
