The inside out building...all of the structure of this museum/gallery is built on the outside skin of the Pompidou building, and it's all functional and (as I've been told) it allows for "flexive spaces."
These giant tuby things were across the plaza...I don't know if they were just for decoration or if they're functional ooooor what.
The reception area.
The gift shop and gallery area.
Escalator going up to the gallery spaces...located outside the building.
The main gallery space...
The museum did have some really cool exhibits...this one was a little "room" that the artist made and it was interactive for the guests...
Some of the stuff was really strange...I have no idea what this mess is, I guess you can just hang crap all over the place and call it art.
A kinda cool wall covered with really colorful art works...
A giant "airplane" hovering within the gallery...
...and it had hundreds of scissors stuck in it...I don't know, I guess it's open for personal interpretation...
aaaah yes, the masterpiece and highlight of the exhibit...a minimalist painting series (no you're not missing anything, there is really NOTHING painted on these canvases).
Come on guys, we can do better than this...they could have at least put it on a red wall or something for some contrast
A piano in a room which I guess is designed to absorb the sound
Really the gallery was pretty cool, even if some of the stuff was pretty far out there. I can't say it wasn't interesting. This artist was completing an unfinished series in the gallery...I guess he was part of the exhibit too.
oh man, the giant red rhinoceros..."if you can't make it good, make it move; if you can't make it move, make it glow; if you can't make it glow, make it fly; if you can't make, it fly paint it red..." (designers' anthem...it's a joke, but I think it applies here)
Matisse
A room full of Picasso...
Picasso...
...aaaand another Picasso.
