Annie Leibovitz's Exhibition in MCA
Today I headed to MCA to visit Leibovitz's photography exhibition. It is amazing indeed (sorry about the boring word, but...).To be honest, when I visit an exhibition, I always tend to pay much more attention to the artworks themselves not the way they are displayed, although because of my major I should do and I indeed now care about it more than before. However, today's visit was not very comfortable. First, the air conditioning in MCA was too harsh (at least for me) to make me stay longer, so I only had time to see and hardly had time to think much. Second, there were so many people and I hate staring one label with a bunch of people (my bad eyesight actually). Anyway, at last, I really enjoyed those pictures, especially the one capturing the American swimming team swirling in an underwater circle. I cannot swim :( but watching this photo made me feel as if I had surrounded by cool water and could swim freely. I was also very appreciate those large-scale photos in this exhibition (like printed ones...not sure), and they reminded me of Chinese calligraphic painting, which depicts no detail but contains rich conception; also like Impressionists' momentary style, just saying the beauty of this moment.

I love Annie Leibovitz exhibition! But I do agree with you about the crowd. I went there at 10am but within half an hour, the exhibition space was packed!! I think it was about 100 people.
ReplyDeleteI think that usually is the case whenever any institution holds a 'blockbuster' exhibition... the term is used for that exact reason!
