Senior Trip!-Gabby

I wish we had more time at the places but I am glad that we went to as many places as we did. Stormking was one of my favorite parts of the trip as I am fond of large scale sculptures and the impact they can have on the viewer. It was also nice to see in person pieces that I had read and wrote about in Writing on Art. We talked a good amount about Andy GoIdburg and being able to the “stormking wall” was really impactful for me. Everything in that sculpture was precise and intentional with how the rocks had to be laid out. It was also interesting to see that Goldburg was asked back to do another piece in which he bought the same stone masses but in 10 days made a new wall with huge boulders place throughout it. I really wish we had more time there as I only was able to see half the park but I am glad I got a chance to go.  

Mass MoCA I think was one of my favorite museums I have been to in a very long time. I have a special place in my heart for the MoMA but Mass MoCA’s setup I enjoyed. The place was huge and there was so much to see and not enough time. I found what I loved about the museum was the numerous installations in the museum. My absolute favorite piece was the Clifford Ross Sopris Wall I it was everything I love about the environment and art in one piece. The size of it was amazing and I loved the colors he choose to use for it.


All in all it was a great trip and I might have to sneak back to Mass MoCA sometime soon.
