PS1 visit

This past saturday I went to PS1 to check out the some of the strangest but interesting contemporary artists the city has to offer. When arriving at this very distinct odd looking building, i couldn't help but noticing that it very much looked like an old grammar school turned art stand palace.



The outside had rooms made out of pure thick cement walls and no ceelings. While entering PS1 i noticed how great the faded paint and drywall created the mood in this place.



As we entered the exibits, karen and I noticed many strange works of art we thought couldn't get any stranger. I attempted to take photos, but was denied the chance by the working staff.



As karen and i explored the place, we couldn't help but be a bit freaked out by the gated old steps and eerie music in the hallways.





The bathrooms were pretty odd as well as they too had music for your creepiest of nightmares. Wondering through most of this place was a fun unexpected experience of strange and odd admirable works of art, even the exibit of horror and strange bit sounds at the boiler room was the rare treat we all should experience. The favorite but by far the oddest one of all was the James Turrell exibit," The Meeting". This is an exeptional great piece composed of only an open space, all around square seating, and a large square opening in the ceeling of the room.



This opening allows the viewer to appreciate the meeting of space, and entering this room was like walking into another world, it was icy but warm as the walls had a very orange-reddish color. PS1 is a must see for all those looking for a different artsy point of view, and a good memorable date.
