Field Trip #4

Today, we visited the sculpture center right over the bridge. This museum was very different from all the others. The one exhibit that most interested me was the "Cyclone Fence" created in 1968. Not only was it the biggest one, but it was placed right in the middle of the huge warehouse. It was long strip of fence, twisted in an odd manner. The space that it was in, being so wide open, made it impossible not to notice it. Being that we were in a former trolley repair shop, the feel and look of metal was all over, so this work fit right in. I think if this work was in a different setting, it wouldn't quite fit and give you the same feeling. The other ropes and water filled wheelbarrows add to the excitement and give it a real construction-y feel.
