The cave at the Life on Mars show was my favorite work. I liked how we were able to walk around on different levels to get to each part of the cave. I also liked the different and interesting things... Read More

Just A bit More by Ranjani Shettar
this was my favorite piece in the whole exhibit. the color integration was ingenious that was that it helped to changed the depth. each layer was exactly the same when the viewer looked up close but when glancing at it... Read More

Three Kinds
This was my favorite piece when we visited the exhibit. I liked the lighting in the room that reflected off of the different colored rotating blinds, which left shapes bouncing off of all the walls. I thought the moving mirror... Read More

The Kandor Collection
I feel that this exhibit is very unique and interesting. Whenever I see it, it reminds me of some extra-terrestrial research facility, with cities in glass cases connected to oxygen tanks and monitors. It also gives a dark impression, with... Read More

Untitled (earth drawing 1)
Untitled (earth drawing 1) by Paul Thek is the most appealing work of art I have ever seen. Not only is it striking the way the earth is so intricately drawn and shaded, but also the type of material he worked... Read More

Cupboard
CupboardPeter Fischli & David Weiss I find this work to be quiet sceptical in a way, a reflection of the everpresent postmodernism in the 20th-21st Centuries. We live in an intellectual culture dominated by thinkers such as Derrida, Foucault, Heidegger,... Read More

Anders makes you think
this inkjet print by Wolfgang Tillmans is a bizarre but intruiuging work of art. In this art work he illustrates the side of a face of a man. However this side of the face is very disformed with mold objects... Read More

Defining Art
Exhibitions like the Carnegie International's Life on Mars questions the borders of what is considered to be art. Things could be viewed in society as useless or a nuisance can arguably be art or turned into a form of art,... Read More

Reaction to Cavemanman - Victoria Vercellotti
It was weird. As soon as Cavemanman fell into view I was smacked by the past. I spent a good portion of my childhood in the warehouse at my father’s work, a dirty place with cardboard and packing tape... Read More

Pushing the Artist
I like this piece because I thought the irony and play on words (visually) was really clever. It shows how someimes "pushing" the artist, as many do (e.g. parents, teachers) isn't always the best thing for the artist. I also... Read More

Matt G- My View of the cave
The cave at the life on mars show was by far the coolest and best piece of art in the show. The fact that it was an environment that we were able to walk around and be a part of... Read More
