The Menil Collection

           I really can’t say that anything about the building stood out to me except the forms that were made on the ground.  I have to say that the figures in the ground were the only thing that looked interesting to me and actually made stop to look and think about the design.  Like I said, I didn’t feel as if anything else about the building was special.  I have seen architecture that has made me stop and say to myself, “how in the hell did they do that”, such as the house that was made on the waterfall by frank Lloyd Wright.  As far as the rest of the visit I would also have to say that nothing really stood out to me either.  I decided to do my blog on Richard Serra‘s hand videos which feature human hands doing a variety of actions.  The first is Hands Tied, 1968, the second is Hand Lead Fulcrum, 1968, the third is Hand Catching Lead, 1968, and the fourth is hands Scraping, 1968.  The reason that I wanted to do my blog on these art works is because it’s the only thing in the museum that caught my attention for more than ten minutes.  I actually felt like a dumbass for staring and waiting for something else to happen.  Honestly nothing else caught my attention for more than thirty seconds at the museum.  Everything aside I really enjoyed my visit and I will probably being going again and I also donated some money, not a whole lot but some.
