Blog 5: Wexner Review

Out of all the works that I looked at, I thought that the Blue Construction sculpture was the most interesting. The piece was confusing enough in form alone, but then the artist had to go and throw the blue coloring all over it to baffle me even more. I really couldn't make much out of it, or offer up any sort of reasonable interpretation for it. Yet, in spite of this, and for reasons that I wasn't really able to rationalize, I still found the piece interesting and semi-aesthetically pleasing.

It's hard to say what bothered me the most about this particular work. It was kind of all over the place, and every time I started to hone in on something that made me think, "yeah, i'll write about that for the 'what I liked the least' part of my blog post," I found myself suddenly distracted by something else that disturbed me about it. I like the work, but it also just kind of bothers me. I think what I actually like least is the name. Blue Construction. After looking at the piece, and realizing I forgot its name, I thought, "ok, i'll look at the name again and now that i've been studying the work for a while, the name should help me have an epiphany and figure this thing out." And it didn't. So yeah, the name is what I have the biggest problem with.
