Chapter 23 - Opening Up The New World

Atta Kim, Museum Project #149


Ernesto Neto, Leviathan Thot


I favor both of these pieces because of the fact the installation used. Leviathan Thot looks like the bottom of a desk filled with countless pieces of bubble gum stretched out and dripping. I like how the Museum Project is inspired by the Buddhism religion yet the subject shown seems to go against it by appearing to be trapped within its practice and beliefs.



Subodh Gupta, Very Hungry God.


Olafur Eliasson, 360-Degree Room fo All Colors



I find both of these pieces to be eerie and mysterious. Very Hungry God is a grinning symbol of death assembled with what seems to be kitchen appliances. Gupta was inspired by a disturbing story of a charitable organization in France distributing pork soup to the hungry knowing that observant Muslims and Jews could not eat it. All colors welcome viewers to step foot into into a slowly shifting panoramic cinema of spectral color. I like the viewer can imagine themselves in another world full of color and excitement.
