MOMA Trip Blog

During the visit to MoMa I have seen lots of interesting pieces of art work and styles of multiple artist. The works from the 6th floor for Louise Lawler: WHY PICTURES NOW was what interested me the most during my look through the museum. Louise Lawler exhibition "consists of a sequence of mural-scale, “adjusted to fit” images set in dynamic relation to non-linear groupings of photographs—of collectors’ homes, auction houses, and museum installations—distinctive of Lawler’s conceptual exercises."  - MOMA

One of the works that got me was right in the middle of the floor was this huge picture called Big (adjusted to fit). What strike me about it was seeing that big mannequin head sitting on the floor and a body that the chest and up is cut from the photo. The work leaves the rest of the mannequins body unseen on purpose and it made me curious about if that head is part of that mannequin or something else. It made me wonder whats the reason for having something so random in a way happening with a picture of people in a gallery photo behind. I only seen it once but it I keep finding new things about it and makes me curious about more things in the picture like the reason for the head to be covered in plastic bag or why is the body laying on a rug? All in all, this artwork is one of the works I remembered the most during my day.
