I went to the Whitney Museum of American Art. Tickets were free for people 25 and under so that was a plus! It was super easy to get in, they just checked my bag and scanned my ticket. Each floor seemed to have a different theme or the works of mostly one artist. There was a pretty wide array of kinds of art, including paintings, photographs, videos, audio, and sculptures.
Every floor was almost a whole other environment because some were a lot quieter/louder. I felt like I had to whisper on the first floor whereas the next was pretty lively.
Some themes I noticed were ASL, African-American and Native American cultures. I’m sure there were others but I noticed these the most.
Some paintings were more modern and abstract while others were a more traditional style. I personally liked the ones with a lot of color and texture.
Loved this so much. I think glass in art is so pretty and I loved how there were so many different sizes of the orbs.
This blog post won’t let me upload the photo I have but there was this one animation of some kind of terrarium (I don’t even know how to describe it) but it was looped and had an audio that sounded like water and it was so captivating I could have sat there for an hour.
Overall, I enjoyed this trip. I will be honest though, I didn’t really “get” a lot of the pieces but they were still nice to look at. I liked how the plainness of the actual rooms let the art shine but I do wish there was a liiittle more to them.
