So on monday i went over to lacma to check out the new exhibit, seeing it was a furlough day. I decided to start off at the bottom of the building because i wanted to see the Richard Serra pieces. I saw one then moved on to the next which i spent more time on. This second piece allowed you to walk through it rather than around it like the other one. I wanted to spend more time with this piece because last time i saw it i started to get a variety of emotions and ideas i did not get to complete. One reason was the person i was with was not making the experience fun and the second was because of time issues. One feeling i was getting while walking through this piece was vertigo mainly because the walls were slanted and curved . Seeing it was a Monday and it looked pretty slow i decided to stay in the piece so i found a spot and sat in it for about 10 mins. About 8 mins into it the security guard came in and asked me if i was ok because he saw me walk in but did not see me walk out. I told him yes and then he moved on as if nothing had happend.
I am sure you enjoyed the work. It is amazing. When you walk through this installation you really feel different. Did you go upstairs to the Ellie Broad permanent collection. I hope you did. If you did not you got to go. It's a must see.
