HIRSHHORN

In D.C. I also visited

The Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

It is a leading voice for contemporary art and culture and provides a national platform for the art and artists of our time.

 First we (with Will Niebauer's class) came upon Ai Weiwei.

Copied the Ai Weiwei images and quotes below from the Hirshhorn website.

This image shows the piece from the side so you can see its construction, check out the video below. 

Took this photo so you can see how the image transforms as you move

Here is another piece, watch the squares appear to move/vibrate or shake.

Another installation as I walk through it involving mirrors, reflective plates and lights

An interactive piece you walk through

 

The effects of standing in the blue room.

Some poor shots of works by

Francis Bacon (28 October 1909 – 28 April 1992)

They were all behind glass.
