Other parts of the museum weren't so crowded. Our time was limited, so we picked certain areas to explore before we had to hit the road. There was another current exhibition I wanted to see, though it did not interest my husband at all!! The exhibit is called "Crafted: Objects in Flux", and a few pieces really caught my interest!!
The temporary site-specific ceramic installation "Poros", by Nathan Craven, pictured above and below, and also at the top of the post, is made from approximately 6000 fired clay elements, fitted to a window, with light pouring in from the outside.
Here's a few other pieces that intrigued me, from this exhibit.
I'll admit, the MFA is NOT my favorite art museum, but there still is much to see. We spent a bit of time exploring European painting, including works by Monet, Picasso, van Gogh, and more. But it was a contemporary piece that totally grabbed me: Endlessly Repeating Twentieth Century Modernism by Josiah McElheny, pictured below and at the top of the post. This installation is made from hand-blown vessels of mirrored glass, and mirrors. It was totally fascinating!Pictured below is me! I'm taking a photo of the mirrored installation, so you are seeing a reflection of me in the case that holds the blown glass display. Confusing, I think?
To confuse me further, there was a piece of performance art ongoing:
All in all, visiting the MFA was a great way to spend some time before we hit the road!
